ARLINGTON -- There was no panic in Cleveland's clubhouse on Thursday night. The offense was mired in an ugly slump, but the Indians still had a nice view from atop the American League Central and could trust that one of the league's top lineups was just going through a cold spell.

"Tomorrow's going to be a good day to say we're just going to get back to the basics of some good line drives, put it in play, get some guys on base and have a little bit more fun.
