| |  | CLEVELAND: CLEVELAND (AP) - Jason Kipnis didn't want it to end. He had plenty of company.
After the final out ended the club's magical, turnaround season so jarringly last October, Kipnis, who made his first All-Star team in 2013 and a few of his teammates lingered in the dugout and watched as Tampa Bay's players celebrated their 4-0 win in the AL wild-card playoff game.
One and done. Hardly the finish Cleveland wanted.
And once again, the city would remain without a major sports championship, a drought approaching its 50-year anniversary.
But despite their brief postseason appearance in manager Terry Francona's first year, the Indians intend to play in October again - and again.
''We don't want it to be a fluke,'' Kipnis said. ''We don't want to be a one-trick pony. We want to be at the top and we want to stay there.''
Hoping to build off their unexpected 92-win campaign, the Indians enter 2014 confident they can not only contend this season, but go even further.
During spring training in Arizona, first baseman Nick Swisher, who also serves as the club's high-energy hype man, handed out ''Unfinished Business'' T-shirts to his teammates.
The Indians aren't satisfied.
''Last season, hopefully, was a steppingstone that we needed to get us going in the right direction,'' Swisher said. ''Last year was that amazing year to get us in the right mind frame to say, `Hey, we can do this. We are a team. And people need to start recognizing it.'''
Cleveland had to win its final 10 games just to make the playoffs. The late-season kick wouldn't have been necessary if the Indians had played more consistently, and more evenness has been a focus for Francona, who feels his club has the makings to do something special again.
''I love our team,'' said the AL's manager of the year. ''I love coming to the ballpark and watching them play. They are easy to like because they try hard. When you can show up with a group of guys and you respect the way they go about things it makes the challenging times more fulfilling. We know we can do it now. We've got to try and go do it better.''
| | CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - From rock bottom last season to contention this year? The Chicago White Sox see no reason why it can't happen.
They're ready to put last season's 99-loss wreck behind them and make a jump at least back to respectability, if not a run at the AL Central title.
They see a team with solid pitching, a new slugger in Jose Abreu and renewed vigor. Now, all they have to do is back it up.
''You have to pitch, you have to hit, you have to score,'' said manager Robin Ventura, entering his third season. ''You have to play defense. You have to do all of them in our division. Detroit has won it the last few years. They have a combination of everything. Unless you do that, you're not going to be close. We proved that last year.''
They had the pitching part down last season. The rest? Well, that's where things got dicey.

*Indians-White Sox Preview* ===========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Cleveland (66-63) at Chicago (59-71), 8:10 p.m. EDT
Perhaps a visit to the South Side of Chicago will help Corey Kluber successfully move on from his first defeat in almost two months.
Looking to continue his success at U.S. Cellular Field, Kluber tries to help the Cleveland Indians extend the White Sox's season-high skid to eight games Wednesday night.
Though Kluber (13-7, 2.46 ERA) allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings of a 7-4 home win over the White Sox (59-72) on July 11, he improved to 1-0 with a 2.95 ERA against them this season. His first meeting of 2014 came April 13, when he yielded two runs in 7 1-3 innings of a 4-3 loss at Chicago, where the right-hander is 2-0 with a 2.79 ERA in three outings.
Kluber was 6-0 with a 1.31 ERA in eight starts prior to allowing three runs and walking four in seven innings of a 4-1 loss at Minnesota on Thursday.
"He's earned the right for us to expect what he does," manager Terry Francona told MLB's official website. "He just didn't command (Thursday) as well as he normally does."
Kluber hopes to be more efficient for the Indians (67-63), who have won three straight and 10 of 14 after Tuesday's 8-6, 10-inning victory. Zach Walters hit a two-run home run in the 10th as Cleveland kept pace in both the AL Central and wild-card races.
"We know exactly where we are and we know that we have to turn it on at this moment in time if we expect to catch anyone - whether it's the wild card or the division," starting pitcher T.J. House said.
Though Walters is batting .207 in 45 games between Washington and Cleveland this year, he's hit six of his nine home runs in his last 12 games.
With two hits and an RBI on Tuesday, teammate Mike Aviles is batting .410 in 12 games versus Chicago this season.
He's 0 for 3 against Hector Noesi (7-9, 4.86), who will try to help the White Sox snap their longest skid since losing nine straight Aug. 30-Sept. 7.
Noesi allowed one earned run in 14 1-3 innings while going 1-0 in his first two starts of August, but is 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA since. He allowed four runs on three homers but struck out eight in seven innings of a 4-3 home loss to Baltimore last Wednesday.
"When you leave pitches up, they're going to get you," said Noesi, whose 21 home runs allowed rank among the most in the AL. "When you miss a pitch, you miss the location, they go for it."
The right-hander gave up one homer and four other hits in 7 1-3 innings while not factoring in the decision of a 3-2 home victory over Cleveland on May 28, then yielded six runs, two homers, and four walks to 4 2-3 innings against Kluber on July 11.
Chicago's Alexei Ramirez homered for a second straight contest, and is hitting .424 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in eight home games versus Cleveland this season.
He's 4 for 20 with two doubles against Kluber.
