Indians, Braves facing unknowns in series finale

The big inning has played a prominent role in the first two games of the Atlanta Braves' interleague series against the host Cleveland Indians.

With each team landing haymakers in the doubleheader, the clubs will look to deliver the knockout blow on Sunday night in the rubber match of the series.

The Indians enjoyed a six-run fifth inning in an 8-4 victory in the opener, and appeared poised to ride a five-run second to their fifth straight win in the nightcap.

The Braves, however, had other ideas and capped their rally from a seven-run deficit by posting a five-run ninth inning in an 8-7 victory.
