TORONTO -- The Cleveland Indians are going for a club record when they play the Toronto Blue Jays Friday afternoon as they try to extend their winning streak to 14 games.The Indians defeated the Blue Jays 4-1 on Thursday to equal their club record with their 13th straight win. The record was set in 1942 and matched in 1951.The Indians also finished June with a 22-6 record, the best in franchise history for any month.The Indians will start right-hander Josh Tomlin (9-1, 3.22 ERA), and the Blue Jays will counter with struggling right-hander Marcus Stroman (6-4, 5.33 ERA), who began the season as the No. 1 starter but has had trouble making his sinker sink and is 1/3 with an 8.44 earned-run average in his past six starts.Indians manager Terry Francona is keeping an even keel.You turn the page pretty quick, Francona said after Thursdays win in which Carlos Carrasco struck out 14 in in 7 1/3 innings. If you start taking time to sit back and evaluate (what happened) two weeks ago, then tomorrow might not be so good. I just think theyre having fun trying to play the game the right way. That;s a good way to go about it.Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have lost seven of their past 11 games after winning 20 of their previous 28.If there was anything encouraging about the loss on Thursday, it was the return of left-handed reliever Brett Cecil from the disabled list, where he had been since May 15 with a strained triceps. He opened the season 0-5 with a 5.23 ERA in 16 outings before going on the DL but during his rehabilitation, he regained his curveball, which is vital to his success. Cecil pitched a perfect eighth inning Thursday, and manager John Gibbons and Cecil were both encouraged by the outing.Hopefully (his return) does bring back a boost of energy, Cecil said. Hopefully I can get off to a good start and get these guys going a little bit. Im not here to change the whole face of the bullpen, but they know what they need to do, I know what I need to do and hopefully we can all do it together.Cecil will be used in late innings as bridge to closer Roberto Osuna.Hes going into a valuable role, because we need that, Gibbons said. Weve seen him do that many times. I cant say this is his inning or that inning is his inning, but its going to be important stuff.Meanwhile, a good start by Stroman on Friday would be helpful for the bullpen. Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Stromans start Sunday, a 5-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox, was really encouraging.Stroman allowed seven hits and four runs in five innings. He has faced Cleveland once in his career, allowing five hits and five runs (four earned) in 1 1/3 innings in a relief appearance.Tomlin also pitched Sunday, allowing three runs, six hits and a walk while striking out three in eight innings in a 9-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. He is 1-0 with a 5.19 ERA in his three career starts against the Blue Jays. He is 1-0 with a 5.56 ERA in two starts at Rogers Centre. He is 5-0 with a 2.76 ERA in seven starts on the road this season. He has allowed only eight walks in 362 batters faced this season. His 0.81 walks per nine innings is second in the majors to Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers (0.67).He will be trying to pitch the Indians into history on Friday afternoon against a sellout crowd on Canada Day at Rogers Centre.Its something pretty special thats going on right now, said Cleveland closer Cody Allen, who earned his 17th save Thursday. But youve also got to remember that just because were winning ballgames right now doesnt mean its going to be easy the next day. We know weve got our hands full for the rest of this series. Thats a good club over there. Steve Bartkowski Falcons Jersey . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at .

GREEN BAY, Wis. --?Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy confirmed Thursday that the NFL will interview Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, who?were named in an Al-Jazeera America report linking them to performance-enhancing drugs.It was the first acknowledgment by anyone from the Packers organization of the interviews, which are expected to take place in Green Bay when training camp opens next week.The league is pursuing that, Murphy said following the teams annual shareholders meeting. I know theres been some resistance from the NFLPA about the credibility of some of the sources there, but I dont think we know much more than that.When asked about the teams involvement in the process, Murphy said: Its very minimal. Its just setting up the interviews or working with the league office.Matthews and Peppers -- along with former Packers player Mike Neal -- have denied the assertions of the Al-Jazeera report.The initial report came out last December and linked several NFL players, including Peyton Manning and James Harrison, to HGH and other drugs.I think its bulls---, to be completely honest with you, Matthews said on Dec. 27. Its 100 percent falsified, fabricated information. I dont who this guy is. I couldnt tell you what he looks like.ddddddddddddIve never talked with him. Ive never communicated with him. So for him to bring my name up like that, which appears to be out of thin air, its bulls---, for a lack of a better term.I work hard on my reputation, and really thats all I have, Matthews added. For seven years, Ive worked my ass off. For this guy to say those type of things, its just not true, and especially for him to recant everything that he said, too, I think it really just goes to show the [type of] source he is, as well. The truth will come out, and Im not worried about it, because I carry myself a certain way, and that is the right way.Neither Matthews nor Peppers has been available for comment since the news broke that they would be interviewed by the league at the start of training camp.Charlie Sly -- the source for the Al-Jazeera report that implicated the NFL players -- has since recanted his remarks.?Harrison said earlier this month in an affidavit provided to the NFL that he has never violated the leagues policy on performance-enhancing drugs and has never met Sly.
