Atlanta: Carlos Santana hit a tiebreaking single in a three-run ninth inning and the Cleveland Indians won their 11th straight game, beating the Atlanta Braves 5-3 Tuesday night. Corey Kluber (8-7) allowed three hits in eight innings as the Indians extended their best streak since an 11-game string in 1982. Santana’s single off Arodys Vizcaino (1-3) made it 3-2. Kris Bryant singled home the tiebreaking run in the 15th inning and Chicago manager Joe Maddon used three pitchers in left field while beating Cincinnati 7-2. Lucas Giolito threw four scoreless innings in his rain-shortened major league debut to help Washington rout Mets 5-0.
