ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Drew Stubbs hit a two-run homer in the 14th inning, and the Cleveland Indians outlasted the Los Angeles Angels 4-1 Tuesday night to gain ground in the AL playoff race. Lonnie Chisenhall got the Indians going with a one-out single in the 14th off Joe Blanton (2-14), the Angels seventh pitcher. Stubbs, the Indians No. 9 hitter, was 0 for 4 with a walk before connecting for his first homer since July 4. Michael Bourn then singled and scored from second on Blantons throwing error for the Angels, who have lost eight of 10. Los Angeles stranded 17 runners -- 13 after the sixth inning, including two in the final frame. Carlos Santana hit a tying homer in the seventh for the Indians, who managed just four hits in the first 12 innings. But with 13 consecutive scoreless innings thrown by nine pitchers -- thats everybody in the bullpen -- Cleveland pulled within 5 1/2 games of AL Central leader Detroit and 3 1/2 games of wild-card leader Oakland after both teams lost earlier. Carlos Carrasco (1-4) pitched the final two innings, setting off cheers in a small group of hearty fans behind Clevelands dugout when he got Chris Nelson on a comebacker with two runners on to end the 5-hour, 17-minute game. J.B. Shuck hit a leadoff homer more than five hours before the final out, but the Angels couldnt score again despite 12 hits. The Angels outpitched the Indians group until they got to Blanton, who leads the AL with 29 homers allowed in his miserable season -- even though he lost his spot in Los Angeles rotation last month. C.J. Wilson yielded four hits and a run while pitching into the eighth inning of a superb start for the Angels, striking out five. But rookie Danny Salazar pitched three-hit ball into the sixth inning in his fourth major league start for Cleveland, and his bullpen was impenetrable. Mike Trout sat out his second straight game for Los Angeles, resting his tight right hamstring. Wilson kept the Indians down until Santana led off the seventh with his 15th homer. Peter Bourjos lost his glove over the wall while trying to make the catch -- so the Angels centre fielder scaled the wall, leaped over to get the glove back and climbed back onto the field. Both teams had ample opportunities to score late, and the Indians made several remarkable escapes. Wilson and reliever Dane De La Rosa walked the bases loaded in the eighth, but De La Rosa struck out Yan Gomes to end it. Josh Hamilton then got picked off second base in the eighth, preventing Kole Calhouns single from driving him home moments later. The Angels stranded two more runners in the ninth when Asdrubal Cabrera made an impressive play on Erick Aybars grounder at shortstop to force extra innings. Hamilton, Trumbo and Calhoun loaded the bases with nobody out in the 10th, but relievers Matt Albers, Rich Hill and Bryan Shaw each got one out, with Shaw striking out Grant Green. The Angels then got two runners on with two outs in the 12th, but Bourn leaped to rob Hank Conger of an extra-base hit off the centre-field wall. Los Angeles much-maligned bullpen retired 10 straight batters before Santana drew a two-out walk in the 13th and hustled to third on Gomes single to left, but Cabrera flied out. NOTES: Trout got hurt during Sundays loss to Houston, forcing him to miss consecutive games for the first time in the past two seasons. The All-Star outfielder had skipped just one game all season before this series. ... Juan Gutierrez pitched two hitless extra innings for Los Angeles, but didnt get his first victory since Sept. 9, 2009. Gutierrezs stretch of 127 2-3 innings for Arizona, Kansas City and the Angels without a victory is the majors longest active streak. ... With two off days in the next week, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said hell "make some adjustments" to the Angels starting rotation. Jerome Williams, who hasnt won since June 12, will still start Wednesday against Clevelands 13-game winner, Justin Masterson. ... Angels C Chris Iannetta snapped an 0-for-13 skid with a seventh-inning single, but Bourjos went hitless in six at-bats to drop to 0 for 18 since his return from a broken right wrist.

It bounced right into the hands of tight end Anthony Fasano, who had been blocked to the ground, and he rolled over across the goal-line for a touchdown that extended the Chiefs lead to two scores.I dont know what to say, Smith said, smiling. A freaky play.Just the kind of play thats been going Kansas Citys way during a three-game win streak — and the kind that has been going against New York during its eight-game skid.The Jets losing streak is their longest since 1996, when they went 1-15 in their final year under Rich Kotite. The franchise has never lost nine in a row, an embarrassment embattled coach Rex Ryan and his troops will try to avoid next Sunday against Pittsburgh.I thought it was typical of how this seasons gone for us, Ryan said of the bizarre bounce that led to Fasanos touchdown. Thats what I thought.Smith finished with 199 yards and two touchdowns passing, and Jamaal Charles ran for another score for the Chiefs (5-3), who won for the fifth time in six games on the same day that former running back Priest Holmes was inducted into their ring of honour.Starting his first game with the Jets (1-8) in place of Geno Smith, Michael Vick threw for 196 yards and a touchdown. He briefly left early in the fourth quarter after taking a massive hit from the Chiefs Josh Mauga and walking unsteadily off the field, but returned to finish.Smith was inactive with a shoulder injury, so Matt Simms had to play one series.My head hit the ground, but it was cool, Vick said. Initially, I was dinged for a minute. But I respect the NFL rules and the concussion protocol. I went through it. I took all the appropriate steps and I passed all the tests and I came back.New York actually moved the ball well through gusty conditions, utilizing Percy Harvin in the running and passing games. But the Jets kept misfiring deep in Chiefs territory, settling for a field goal just before halftime and then turning it over on downs at the Kansas City 3 early in the fourth quarter — Vick was injured on that fouurth-down play.ddddddddddddIn all, the Jets were stopped on fourth down three times in the fourth quarter.We had some opportunities and we didnt capitalize on them, said Vick, who will start next Sunday against Pittsburgh. Whenever that happens, and the other team does capitalize on theirs, you dont finding yourself winning the game.The Chiefs set the tempo from the opening drive, moving 81 yards in relative ease. Charles was the workhorse, carrying six times and capping the drive with a 1-yard TD plunge.After the Chiefs forced three-and-out, it took them just seven more plays to score again — this time on a play that encapsulated the way everything has been going right for Kansas City, and the way everything has been going wrong for New York.With first-and-goal at the 2-yard line, Smiths pass was knocked down by Pace. But the nice defensive play sent the ball right to Fasano, who caught the inadvertent pass on his rump, rolled over the goal line and gave the Chiefs a stunning — if not humorous — touchdown for a 14-0 lead.Meanwhile, the Chiefs defence was getting after Vick every time he dropped to pass.Justin Houston, who had 4 1/2 sacks of Vick when he faced the Eagles a year ago, had two more on the elusive quarterback Sunday. Defensive tackle Dontari Poe also tracked Vick down for a sack, all before Mauga knocked him from the game with his crushing blow in the fourth quarter.The only bright spot for the Jets was the play of Harvin, who caught 11 passes for 129 yards in his second game since getting traded from Seattle. Harvin showed the speed and shiftiness that the Jets were hoping he would provide when they made the deal.It was just far too little in a game dominated by Kansas Citys defence.When we were 0-2, nobody really believed in us. Were 5-3 right now, and pretty sure nobody believes in us, Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali said. Our goal is to continue to believe in what were doing and win games. Thats all that matters around here.NOTES: The Jets had 24 sacks coming into the game. Jason Babin had their only one Sunday with 2 minutes left. ... Houston had a league-leading 10 sacks coming into the game. ... Rookie CB Marcus Williams started for the Jets in place of Darrin Walls (calf). ...
