KEY GAME INFORMATION
TORONTO: TORONTO (AP) - All winter long, the Blue Jays' primary concern was upgrading the starting pitching. The biggest story in Toronto this spring, though, is the one about the free agent arm that got away.
After months of inaction, the Blue Jays thought they'd landed right-hander Ervin Santana on a one-year deal in early March. But when injury concerns flared up in Atlanta, Santana signed a similar deal with the Braves instead.
''I think it's pretty obvious we were involved, it didn't work out. I'm trying to take the high road here,'' general manager Alex Anthopoulos said after Santana turned him down, saying he'd rather pitch in a spacious National League park than face AL East foes in Toronto's hitter-friendly dome.
Anthopoulos, who'd previously come ''extremely close'' to acquiring a starter through trade, must now start the season with almost the same staff he took north last year. Right-handed knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young winner, will be the opening-day starter again, while left-hander Mark Buehrle gets the third slot.
But none of the other three leading contenders, right-handers Brandon Morrow and Drew Hutchison, and left-hander J.A. Happ, have ever pitched 200 innings, and all three are coming off injuries. Morrow was limited to 10 starts last year by a nerve problem in his forearm, Hutchison hasn't pitched in the majors since elbow surgery in 2012, and Happ missed most of 2013 after being hit in the head by a line drive. Happ dimmed his own chances with an awful spring.
Santana, who has topped the 200-inning mark five times, would have given the Blue Jays valuable depth. Without him, there's more chance they'll need starts from touted but untested youngsters like Kyle Drabek, Sean Nolin, and Marcus Stroman.
Still, a confident Dickey insisted Santana would have been more ''bonus'' than ''necessity'' to Toronto. ''I feel like we have what we need,'' he said.
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.''

*Blue Jays-Indians Preview* ===========================

By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Toronto (9-8) at Cleveland (7-9), 1:05 p.m. EDT

The Toronto Blue Jays might be enduring a temporary power outage from their offense, but they're still in position for a road sweep of the Cleveland Indians.

They'll look to continue their timely hitting Sunday as they seek their ninth win in Cleveland in 12 tries.

Toronto (10-8) slugged .404 through its first 14 contests and was tied for fifth in the majors with 17 homers, but is slugging .286 over its last four games with one home run. Edwin Encarnacion is still without a homer this season after ranking third in the majors from 2012-13 with 78.

After being outscored 16-5 in two losses in Minnesota, the Blue Jays have since taken the first two in a three-game set with the Indians (7-10). The difference appears to be with runners in scoring position, as they're 7 for 19 in such situations against Cleveland after previously batting .195 on the season.

Jose Reyes was activated from the disabled list and drove in a run in Saturday's 5-0 victory. It was his first game since straining his hamstring on opening day.

"I'm really happy just to be back, be with my teammates, see my guys again," Reyes said. "I'm happy that I'm going to be on the field and play and do what I love to do, just play baseball."

Melky Cabrera was 2 for 5 with a double and a triple. He's hit safely in 17 of 18 games this season and 14 of his last 15 versus Cleveland with an OPS of .938. Jose Bautista has reached base in all 18 games after singling and drawing a walk.

The Blue Jays' bullpen was strong again behind Mark Buehrle's seven-plus shutout innings, yielding no earned runs for the third time in four games. They may need to rely on their relievers Sunday if Brandon Morrow (1-1, 5.52 ERA) pitches like he did Tuesday.

The right-hander threw 98 pitches in a season-low 3 2-3 innings, giving up two runs and four hits in a 9-3 win at Minnesota. Morrow walked four batters after issuing a total of two in his first two starts.

He's 0-2 in six career starts against the Indians despite a 3.86 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 37 1-3 innings. Morrow limited them to one run in six innings of a 3-2 loss in his only matchup last season.

Cleveland, looking to avoid a fourth straight loss, could use some clutch hitting of its own. The Indians are 0 for 14 in the series with runners in scoring position and just 6 for 43 (.140) over their last five games.

"Obviously we haven't had the start we wanted as a group," said Nick Swisher, who is in a 2-for-18 slump and is 4 for 27 against Morrow with eight strikeouts. "Then again last year we started off the season 5-10, so not time to panic just yet."

Starter Carlos Carrasco (0-2, 7.84) could likely use the support after struggling through his first two starts. He yielded five runs over 4 2-3 innings his last time out in a 9-6 loss to the White Sox on April 11. The Blue Jays knocked him around for five runs and seven hits in just three innings in Cleveland's 7-1 loss July 10, 2011, in his only start against them.

Cabrera is 4 for 8 off Carrasco with a double and a homer.

Carlos Santana is 5 for 10 off Morrow but 3 for 37 (.081) over his last 10 games after going hitless in four at-bats Saturday.
