CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians are relying on rookies in their drive to stay in playoff contention. Air Max Scontate Online . That is just fine with manager Terry Francona. Jose Ramirez, one of several rookies who are getting significant playing time, drove in the winning run with a ninth-inning single that lifted the Indians to a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. "Thats a fun way to play," Francona said. "We had some youth out there, and were seeing what they can do." Rookies Tyler Holt and Roberto Perez also had a hand in the winning rally. Holt, pinch-hitting for Chris Dickerson, started the inning with a single off Jake Buchanan (1-3). After Perez moved Holt to second with a sacrifice, Michael Bourn walked. Buchanans wild pitch moved the runners to second and third before Ramirez, who doubled and scored in the third, lined a 3-2 pitch past third base. "I was trying to put the ball in play, trying to make contact," Ramirez said through Perez, who served as his interpreter. "Thank God Im taking advantage of the opportunity the Indians are giving me.

Its just awesome to be part of this team, and with them, too." The Indians have 10 walk-off wins this season. Cody Allen (5-3) struck out two in a perfect ninth as four pitchers held Houston to three hits. "We had a good streak offensively where we were scoring a lot of runs and swinging the bats well but weve had a couple of games here where we havent swung the bats well," Astros manager Bo Porter said. Danny Salazar continued Clevelands run of impressive starting pitching, allowing two runs with seven strikeouts in six innings. The starters have posted a 1.85 ERA (15 earned runs in 73 innings) in 12 games since Aug. 9. The Indians (65-63) have won eight of 12. Jose Altuves RBI single and Dickersons throwing error -- Clevelands 100th miscue of the season -- helped Houston score twice in the third. Michael Brantley snapped an 0-for-15 slump with an RBI single in the third. Bourn tied it with an RBI groundout in the fourth. NO DEFENDING THIS Two errors led to four unearned runs in the ninth inning on Friday, and the Indians hit the century mark Saturday. "Its added up to too many errors," Francona said. "It makes it difficult for us. Theres no getting around it." Cleveland committed 98 errors last season when it made the playoffs.

Carlyle mentioned Friday that the Leafs considered giving McLaren some penalty-killing duties in addition to his role as a fighter.
