Walker pitches Mariners past Indians for victory
By STEVE HERRICK
Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Taijuan
Walker has been at his best
against the Cleveland Indians.
Walker kept up his run of
dominance against the Indians,
allowing just an unearned
run over six innings in the
Seattle Mariners’ 2-1 win on
Wednesday night.
Walker (1-0) held Cleve-
land to three hits and struck
out six in defeating the
Indians for the third time in
a year. The right-hander beat
Cleveland twice last season
and has allowed one earned
run in 20 innings over three
appearances.
“It seemed like they were
being really aggressive and
then once they start being
aggressive, I can really use
my off-speed pitches and keep
them off-balance and kind of
pitch them backwards a little
bit,” Walker said.
Norichika Aoki had a
two-run triple in the second,
which Walker and three

relievers made stand up.
-ason .ipnis’ sacri¿ce Ày
in the third scored Cleveland’s
run, which was unearned
thanks to ¿rst baseman Adam
Lind’s ¿elding error.
Walker, who threw 110
pitches, was pulled for Joel
Peralta after the sixth despite
his best efforts to avoid
manager Scott Servais in the
dugout.
“I was trying to hide,”
Walker said. “I’m always
trying to get as many (innings)
as I can.”
“Sometimes you just let it
rip and he certainly was letting
it go tonight,” Servais said.
“It’s impressive. He has the
ability to make adjustments
and manipulate the ball a little
bit when he needs to and get
it in the strike zone, in a good
spot in the strike zone.”
Danny Salazar (2-1)
allowed two runs and three
hits in seven innings, but his
mistake to Aoki cost him the
game.
Salazar struck out seven
and didn’t give up a hit after
Aoki’s triple. The right-hander
retired 11 straight and 16 of
the ¿nal 1 he faced. Salazar
has a 1.47 ERA in three starts.
Steve Cishek, the Mariners’
third reliever, pitched a perfect
ninth for his second save.
Lind singled and Chris
Iannetta walked to start the
second. Salazar retired the
next two batters, but Aoki
sent a hard grounder past ¿rst
baseman Mike Napoli that
rolled into the corner to score
both runners.
Cleveland’s only threat
came in the third. Juan Uribe
led off with a double but was
caught in a rundown and
tagged out trying for third on
Tyler Naquin’s ground ball to
the mound.
Naquin took third when
Lind was charged with an
error after he couldn’t handle
Jose Ramirez’s ground ball
near the bag at ¿rst. .ipnis’
Àyball to center scored
Naquin.
Aoki’s triple over the ¿rst
base bag was enough for
the Mariners to win despite
scoring three runs or fewer
for the 10th time in 14 games.
Seattle is 2-5 in one-run
games.
“We needed one and we got
one,” Servais said of the clutch
hit. “It was huge. We were due
for one, a big two-out hit.”
Walker had no walks but
did hit a batter. He had no-de-
cisions in his ¿rst two starts,
pitching six innings in each.
NBA Playoffs
LeBron scores 27, Cavs take 2-0 lead on Pistons
Associated Press
CLEVELAND — LeBron
James scored 27 points, J.R.
Smith made seven of Cleve-
land's NBA playoff record-
tying 20 3-pointers, and the
Cavaliers opened a 2-0 lead
in their series with a 107-90
victory over the Detroit
Pistons on Wednesday night.
The top-seeded Cavs put
away the up-and-coming
Pistons in the third quarter,
outscoring them 27-15 to
protect home-court advantage.
There was nothing easy
about their ¿rst two wins
and the Cavs, favored to win
the Eastern Conference and
return to the ¿nals, will have
their work cut out when the
best-of-seven series resumes
on Friday night at Detroit.
Kyrie Irving added 22
points for Cleveland, which
went 20 of 3 on 3s and tied
the postseason record shared
by Golden State (2015), Dallas
(2011) and Seattle (1996).
Andre Drummond scored
20 and Reggie Jackson 14 for
the Pistons, who have lost 10
straight playoff games against
Cleveland. Drummond was
just 4 of 16 from the line.
Smith's outside shooting
was a welcomed addition for
the Cavs, who got 1 points
from James, Irving and Kevin
Love in Game 1 but can't
count on that production from
them every time. Smith scored
only nine points in the opener,
but that didn't deter him from
¿ring away and he ¿nished 7
of 11 from long range.
The Cavs are counting
on Smith, who had a rough
postseason last year, when
he was suspended in the ¿rst
round and shot poorly in the
NBA Finals.
Cleveland made six 3s
in the third when it twisted
a ¿ve-point de¿cit into a
14-point lead.
The biggest 3 in the spurt
came from James, who after
knocking down his shot,
raised three ¿ngers on both
hands while standing just a
few feet away from Pistons
coach Stan Van Gundy.
It was some payback for
James, who had refused to
get caught up in a verbal
battle between games with
Van Gundy. Detroit's talkative
coached had complained
during Game 1 that James got
preferential treatment, earning
him a 25,000 ¿ne by the NBA.
MIAMI 115, CHAR-
LOTTE 103 — At Miami,
Only a week ago the Miami
Heat could not score. A
¿ve-point quarter in the
season ¿nale at Boston was
how they sputtered into the
postseason, looking nothing
like a contender.
It was an aberration.
Dwyane Wade scored 2
points, Hassan Whiteside
was for from the ¿eld
and ¿nished with 17 points,
and the Heat beat the Char-
lotte Hornets 115-103 on
Wednesday night to take
a 2-0 lead in the Eastern
Conference ¿rst-round series.
Goran Dragic scored 1
points, Luol Deng ¿nished
with 16 and Josh Richardson
added 15 for Miami, which
had 72 points by halftime and
never trailed in the second
half. Whiteside added 13
rebounds and is now shooting
17 for 19 in his postseason
series debut.
Kemba Walker scored
29 for Charlotte, needing 29
shots to get there. Al Jefferson
had 25 on 12-for-17 shooting
off the bench, Courtney Lee
added 12 and Jeremy Lin had
11 for Charlotte — which
has dropped 12 straight post-
season contests.
