CLEVELAND -- Drew Stubbs knew he was taking a chance. Luckily for the Cleveland Indians, his gamble paid off. Stubbs slid home with the winning run on Jason Kipnis fielders choice ground ball in the ninth inning to give the Cleveland Indians a 2-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday night. "Going on contact is a chance you take, but fortunately, I was able to get under the tag," Stubbs said. With runners on second and third and one out, Kipnis sent a hard grounder to the right side. First baseman Adam LaRoche made a diving backhanded stop and fired to catcher Kurt Suzuki, but Stubbs beat the throw with a slide. Suzuki, who perhaps had the best view of the winning play, gave Stubbs all the credit. "He beat the throw. Its as simple as that," Suzuki said. "Stubbs is probably one of the fastest guys in the league, you know, and he just beat the throw." Clevelands speed, which also featured a perfect hit-and-run play earlier in the inning, played a big part in the rally as the Indians got back to .500 (33-33). "You have to respect the speed," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "It was a heck of a play by LaRoche, but fortunately, Stubbs went on contact, and his speed beat the throw." Stubbs one-out single off Fernando Abad (0-1) started the rally. As Stubbs broke off first, Michael Bourn punched a ground ball through the hole that opened when Steve Lombardozzi went to cover second base. Stubbs advanced to third before Bourn stole second. Joe Smith (3-0) retired the side in order in the ninth for the Indians. Cleveland has won three in a row since breaking an eight-game losing streak. "Losing eight or nine in a row is not the character of this team," Stubbs said. "We just needed a few breaks to go our way to turn things around." Cleveland starter Justin Masterson and Washingtons Gio Gonzalez both allowed one run in seven innings, but werent involved in the decision. Mastersons bases-loaded wild pitch in the third inning gave the Nationals their run. Gonzalez gave up a two-out homer to Ryan Raburn in the fourth. The Indians loaded the bases in the sixth and eighth innings but failed to score. Masterson, who held Washington to two hits, struck out 10 and walked four. He was removed from the game after throwing 113 pitches. The Indians managed only three hits off Gonzalez, who struck out eight and walked four. Three of the walks came with two outs in the sixth, but the left-hander retired Mark Reynolds on a popup to keep the game tied. Gonzalez, who threw a season-high 127 pitches, is 5-0 with a 0.81 ERA in six career starts against the Indians. He is 4-0 with a 0.82 ERA in five career starts in Cleveland. "(Gonzalez) was good, so was Masty," Francona said. "We saw (seven) pretty good innings of good pitching both ways." Masterson remained dominant at Progressive Field. The right-hander is 5-1 with a 2.23 ERA in eight home starts this season. "Hes a great pitcher," Masterson said of Gonzalez. "Hes their workhorse. Our guys kept saying, Wait him out, wait him out. And we finally got him out of the game." Walks to Suzuki and Roger Bernadina along with Lombardozzis single loaded the bases in the third. Masterson then bounced a 1-1 pitch in the dirt with Ryan Zimmerman batting to score Suzuki. Raburns two-out homer to right tied it in the fourth. Raburn, moved to the cleanup spot by Francona, is 7-for-13 with three home runs against Gonzalez. Ian Desmond was 0-for-3 with a walk, ending his 15-game hitting streak. The Indians were coming off a road trip in which they dropped the first seven games before winning the last two in Texas. Cleveland broke an eight-game losing streak on Tuesday. NOTES: Francona said RHP Chris Perez (shoulder tendinitis) will "more likely than not" begin a minor league rehab assignment Sunday. Perez, a two-time All-Star, threw a bullpen session Friday.

Instead, Alabama clinched the division with Auburns loss.The Tigers couldnt overcome the loss of star running back Kamryn Pettway, the nations No. 4 rusher who hurt his left leg on a long run in last weeks win over Vanderbilt. Pettway was with the team but not in uniform.Auburn was held to 32 yards with no first downs in the second half, and 164 yards overall.The offense didnt get it done today. Its a simple as that, said Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, who said he stuck with struggling quarterback Sean White because Sean is our guy.Malzahn said White, returning from an undisclosed injury, didnt throw in practice for the second straight week.White couldnt find a passing game to complement Johnsons running. White completed only 6 of 20 passes for 27 yards with an interception.Georgia (6-4, 4-4) earned its biggest win under first-year coach Kirby Smart.Nick Chubb had 23 carries for 101 yards and Jacob Eason completed 20 of 31 passes for 208 yards without an interception.After Blankenships 21-yard field goal with 2:25 remaining, Auburn was stopped on four downs, triggering a celebration in the stands and on Georgias sideline.Kerryon Johnson ran for 99 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown in the first quarter, as the fill-in starter for Johnson.Blankenship, the Georgia walk-on kicker who wears black-rimmed glasses under his helmet, barely cleeared the cross bar on his 45-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for a 10-7 lead.dddddddddddd Blankenship was short on a 49-yard attempt about three minutes later.Auburn had only 25 yards passing in the first half and opened the second half with three straight passing plays -- two incompletions and a third-down pass intercepted by Maurice Smith and returned 34 yards for a tying touchdown.Smith transferred to Georgia from Alabama, Auburns top rival.This makes it definitely worthwhile, Smith said. Its a blessing. For me to be part of this team and be able to help the team, I just love it.Auburn strong safety Tray Matthews, who began his career at Georgia before he was dismissed from the team in 2014, delivered the key defensive play of the first half. Matthews picked off a pass from receiver Terry Godwin, who took the snap in the wildcat formation, in the end zone for his first interception of the season.Auburn took advantage of the turnover with an 80-play touchdown drive capped by Johnsons 3-yard scoring run.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn: The Tigers likely will be headed for a sharp drop in the Top 25. The inability to compensate for Pettways injury revealed Auburns lack of offensive balance and inability to retain its spot as a championship or playoff contender.UP NEXTAuburn: The Tigers will play their final home game against Alabama A&M next Saturday as they hope to gain momentum for their Nov. 26 game at Alabama.Georgia: Georgia hosts Louisiana Lafayette next Saturday before closing its season with another home game against in-state rival Georgia Tech on Nov. 26.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25[url=http://s
