CLEVELAND -- Trevor Bauer proved his manager right Saturday night.Indians manager Terry Francona said before the game that Bauer would relish the idea of facing Marlins ace Jose Fernandez.Bauer then overcame a shaky first inning and pitched into the ninth in Clevelands 8-3 win over Miami.He looked like he had another gear after the first inning, Francona said. Boy, that was impressive.Bauer (10-6) shut down the Marlins after giving up three runs and three hits in the first. The right-hander didnt allow another hit until Ichiro Suzuki led off the ninth with a single. He gave up three runs and four hits in 8 1/3 innings.I thought I threw the ball really well in the first, Bauer said. The offense came back and put up two real quick, which is great for the team psyche, especially facing a guy thats really good.Francisco Lindor was 4 for 4, Jason Kipnis hit a two-run homer and Coco Crisp -- playing his first game since being acquired from Oakland -- had three hits, helping the AL Central leaders to their fifth straight win.Lindor doubled in the first and third, singled in the fourth and added an RBI single in the sixth.Kipnis hit his 22nd homer in the first off Fernandez (13-8), who gave up a career-high 12 hits and seven runs in 5 2/3 innings.Crisp began his career with the Indians and was traded following the 2005 season. He doubled in the first and singled in the fourth and sixth, but admitted he had a tough sleeping Friday night.You dont want to come in and strike out four or five times, he said. You want to do something special.Miami, which committed three errors, has lost seven of eight and fell to .500 for the first time since May 1.Christian Yelichs two-run double and a sacrifice fly by Derek Dietrich gave Miami the early lead, but Kipnis home run cut the lead to 3-2. Roberto Perez tied the score in the second with an RBI double.Lindor doubled to lead off the third and scored on Carlos Santanas single, giving Cleveland the lead. Abraham Almontes sacrifice fly added another run.Fernandezs night ended in the sixth. Lindors RBI single gave Cleveland a 6-3 lead. A throwing error by Suzuki from right field on the hit led to another run.Fernandez, who also allowed a career-high six extra base hits, fell to 3-6 on the road.I was thinking about rolling the ball to the plate and seeing maybe who they were going to hit it to, he said. I got hit. I got hit really hard, but you learn from it.THE DAY AFTERThe Marlins were unhappy with the umpires during Fridays 6-2 loss. Manager Don Mattingly thought Kipnis struck out on a 3-2 pitch in the first inning, but it was ruled he checked his swing and Cleveland scored three runs. First base coach Perry Hill was ejected in the ninth and Mattingly was still upset following the game.Mattingly took a much calmer approach Saturday.Ive talked to the league and thats just pretty much where Id like to leave it, he said. No reason to keep going. Youre mad about it last night. It doesnt help it today. Its time to move forward.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: OF Marcell Ozuna (sore left wrist) missed his third straight game.Indians: C Yan Gomes (separated shoulder) was 2 for 3 as the DH for Double-A Akron on Friday.UP NEXTMarlins: RHP Tim Koehler will start the series finale Sunday.

But Green knocked down just 30.1 percent from three-point range during the 2015 calendar year; this, after connecting on better than 40 percent from long range over his first four seasons in San Antonio.San Antonio waited and waited throughout the season for Green to shake the slump. Then, it appeared Greens struggles were finally subsiding when in January he nailed 49.1 percent from long range. But after the All-Star break, Green watched his three-point shooting percentage sink to 27.7 percent.Then, surprisingly, Green found his shot again in the playoffs; hitting 24 of his 48 attempts from three-point range.Im not gonna say it was [vision issues], Green said. I got the procedure done, [and] it helps. But that wasnt the reason why I was shooting poorly. Some seasons, you have good ones. Sometimes, you have bad ones. Sometimes, its due to adjusting to chemistry. Sometimes its due to injury. Sometimes, you just dont shoot it well. Sometimes, its mental.For me, its just really building that confidence back up mentally, physically staying healthy, fitting into this system and jelling with these guys as fast as possible so that Im adjusted well, and can pick and choose my spots so I dont shoot as poorly as I did last year.Green cant afford to, considering more than 60 percent of his shots come from 3-point range, and the fact hes struggled throughout his career to create off the dribble. Green hits just 27.4 percent on pull-up attempts, and he compensated for the long-range shootiing woes by attempting fewer shots, which caused his usage rate to dip to a career-low 14.dddddddddddd6 percent.Hes always been able to space the floor with how well he shoots, forward Kyle Anderson said. But it just takes it to another level when hes consistent with that 40 percent [connection rate]. We know hell hit shots. We depend on him, and we know hell knock them down. Hes a proven shooter in this league. So with him on the floor, regardless, we have faith in him to take that next shot.Interestingly, Greens prowess on defense made up last season for what he lacked on the offensive end, according to Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.Greens plus-2.9 defensive rating in ESPNs real plus-minus (RPM) led all shooting guards, as he blocked 2.4 percent of opponents 2-point attempts.I just beat him up, and say, What have you done for us lately? Gregg Popovich joked. Im not sure that [LASIK surgery is] gonna [be] a significant factor in his recovery. Hell be fine. He always plays good defense. So hell make more shots this year. It just happens. Its called sports. Sometimes, hitters dont hit.Other times, players wind up taking hits, which is why Green practiced for the first time on Wednesday after missing the first week of training camp and the clubs exhibition opener at Phoenix due to a thigh bruise.Popovich estimated that Green participated Wednesday in approximately 75 percent of the teams workout, but the expectation is the third-longest tenured Spur outside of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili will play on Saturday when San Antonio hosts the Atlanta Hawks at the AT&T Center.Its just turning the page, Green said of last season. Its in the past. Its just the life of a shooter. You cant think about the last shot or the last game. You have to think about the next one. The next one could change the whole momentum of any game or any situation. ' ' '
