CLEVELAND -- Trevor Bauer had hoped to pitch a bloody good game. Instead, he had trouble finding the plate and his pitch count rose rapidly.Nine days after he walked off the mound with his stitched-up right pinkie dripping blood as if in some horror flick, Bauer failed to finish the fourth inning and left the Cleveland Indians with a two-run deficit. The Chicago Cubs went on to a 5-1 victory Wednesday night behind Jake Arrieta, tying the World Series at one game apiece as it heads to Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945.His postseason interrupted by a sliced finger, the result of tinkering with one of the drones he enjoys flying as a hobby, Bauer never got into a flow against the Cubs. He started six of his first nine batters with balls while scattering pitches high, low and wide. Anthony Rizzos RBI double in the first and Kyle Schwarbers run-scoring single in the third -- his first hit on a 3-0 pitch -- built Chicagos 2-0 lead.Indians manager Terry Francona said before the game he intended to use only three starting pitchers in the Series, bringing Game 1 winner Corey Kluber, Bauer and Game 3 starter Josh Tomlin back to face the Cubs on three days rest. Bauer needed 87 pitches to get 11 outs, an outing that might cause Francona to rethink his plan.A 25-year-old right-hander selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks from UCLA with the third overall pick in the 2011 amateur draft, Bauer is somewhat of an eccentric. He prepares for starts by making long tosses of about 300 feet between the foul poles. In an era when his colleagues are trying to refine and master two or three pitches, he throws a four-seam fastball, sinker, curveball, cutter, slider and changeup.He won a career-best 12 games this year, but his notoriety increased exponentially after he got hurt Oct. 14 when his finger was cut by his toys propeller, a mishap that delayed his AL Championship Series outing against Toronto. Bauer had the drone at his news conference before his Game 3 start, saying I brought my friend to answer any questions about what happened that I cant answer.Bauer lasted just two outs against the Blue Jays because the 10 stitches he received didnt hold and he began bleeding on the mound. Clevelands bullpen strung together 25 outs for the victory.The odd accident turned Francona into a comedian, too. He said Monday he reserved the right to alter the teams Series roster if we have another drone incident or anything with model airplanes or anything.Before taking the mound, Bauer tweeted a photo of a small drone and a gift card that read Go Cubs Go!I see the (at)Cubs fans love me! Bauer wrote. How nice of them to send me a gift!His offerings to Chicago were generous. Bauer threw 53 of 87 pitches for strikes, allowing two runs and six hits in a 90-minute outing that, well, droned on and on as baseball officials fretted over whether rain would arrive before the final out.Sprinkles started in the eighth, but the game went on without interruption.Michael Jordan Bengals Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. Germaine Pratt Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Jonah-Williams-Jersey/ . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Ryan Finley Youth Jersey . "No difference at all," chirped U.S. roommate and linemate James van Riemsdyk. "Its still the same cranky Phil. Anthony Munoz Bengals Jersey . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- With a rookie quarterback and one of the NFLs best defenses, the Denver Broncos were content to play conservatively at Jacksonville.It was the perfect formula against the self-destructing Jaguars.Bradley Roby returned an interception 51 yards for a touchdown, and the defending Super Bowl champions beat the mistake-prone Jaguars 20-10 on Sunday and gained ground in the AFC playoff picture.Roby picked off Blake Bortles wobbler across the middle in the third quarter -- star linebacker Von Miller hit Bortles as he released the ball -- and went untouched the other way. It was one of three turnovers for Denvers defense.They were exceptional, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said.It was the 11th pick-6 of Bortles three-year career and his third in the past four games. Houston and Detroit also returned interceptions for touchdowns in games the Jaguars lost by fewer than seven points.Its the biggest nightmare possible, said Bortles, whose 37.9 quarterback rating was the worst of his career.But what are you going to do about it? You cant sit there in a corner and pout. You cant blame people. You cant feel sorry for yourself because I think all thats going to do is affect the way I play. ... All you can do is put your head down and continue to play as hard as you can and prepare each week.Bortles latest pick-6 resulted in a seventh consecutive loss for Jacksonville (2-10) and secured another miserable milestone for the small-market franchise.The Jaguars became the fifth team in NFL history to post double-digit losses in six consecutive seasons, joining Tampa Bay (1983-94), Detroit (2001-06), Oakland (2003-09) and Cleveland (2008-13).Jacksonville had a chance to tie in the final minutes, but Bortles fumbled trying to make a play in the pocket.The Broncos (8-4) rebounded from an overtime loss against Kansas City, and with Miamis loss at Baltimore, moved into position to get one of the conferences wild-card spots.They did it without quarterback Trevor Siemian , who missed the game with a sprained left foot. Rookie Paxton Lynch made his second career start and first on the road. Denver didnt ask him to do too much. He didnt need to, either.The Broncos scored all 20 points with help from Jacksonville, including two turnovers and two 15-yard penalties.Denver was 1 for 13 on third downs and finished with just 206 yards, the fewest allowed in Jaguars coach Gus Bradleys four-year tenuree.dddddddddddd It was the franchises fewest since giving up 146 yards in a victory against Baltimore in 2011.Were playing good defense right now, said Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson, who played his first game against his former team.The Broncos were gouged on the ground for 154 yards, but the defense made several game-changing plays.Robys interception was the key. It was huge for the third-year pro who gave up a late touchdown to New Orleans two weeks ago and surrendered an 11-yard catch on fourth-and-10 last week against the Chiefs.There was no way we were going to lose this game late like we did last week, Roby said.SPECIAL TEAMS WOESThe Jaguars continued their streak of special teams gaffes. Reserve tight end Alex Ellis was flagged for unnecessary roughness on a punt return in the final minute of the half. His 15-yarder set up Brandon McManus 32-yard field goal and put the Broncos ahead 10-3. It also gave Jacksonville a major meltdown on special teams for the seventh consecutive week. The streak includes five fumbled punts -- including three turnovers -- a punt return for a touchdown and two long punt returns that set up scores.HELPING HANDSJaguars receiver Allen Robinson continues to help his opponents. Robinson dropped his sixth pass of the season and his third that resulted in an interception.Just trying to make a play, Robinson said. For me, again, each and every Sunday I try to go out here and try to make plays.Robinson bobbled a deep pass from Bortles down the left sideline, and it landed Harris Jr.s hands for Bortles 14th interception of the season. Robinson, a Pro Bowler last season, also bobbled passes that ended up as picks against Chicago and Oakland earlier this season.Robinson finished with three catches for 31 yards. It looked as if he was tackled before the ball got to him on a fourth-down play early in the fourth, but the play didnt draw a flag. Robinson ripped off his helmet to yell at an official and was flagged unsportsmanlike conduct.Sometimes youve got to let it out and that happened, he said. Ive never been this frustrated playing the game of football in my life.UP NEXTBroncos: Play at Tennessee on Sunday.Jaguars: Host Minnesota on Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
