Sigh of relief: Tribe bullpen steps up in clutch

MINNEAPOLIS -- Zach McAllister walked off the mound, flexed and let out a shout. Given the way the previous two games played out for the Indians, the big right-hander was not about to let the gravity of the situation escape him. He was going to savor it.

With the bases loaded in the seventh inning of Wednesday's 6-5 victory over the Twins, McAllister elevated a 95-mph fastball that blew by the bat of Minnesota slugger Byung Ho Park for the frame's final out. Two days after giving up a walk-off home run to Oswaldo Arcia, McAllister stood tall for the Tribe in a game that was punctuated by a stellar showing for the bullpen.
