CLEVELAND -- When the ball disappeared over the outfield wall, Francisco Lindor raised his right fist and took off.Smiling with every stride, Clevelands superstar-in-the-making shortstop sprinted around the bases as if he was being chased.He and the Indians arent slowing down for anything this October.Lindor hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning, and Corey Kluber silenced Torontos booming bats, giving the Indians a 2-0 win over the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series on Friday night.Lindor connected on an 0-2 changeup from Marco Estrada and tore around the basepaths as the bend-but-dont-break Indians won their fourth straight playoff game in this most unexpected season.I believe in my team. I believe in what we have, said Lindor, the talented 22-year-old who plays as if he has been part of postseason games for a decade. Were just trying to do our thing.Lindor made good use of the Indians resources before his pivotal at-bat, asking designated hitter Carlos Santana for advice on facing Estrada.[Santana] told me to look for a high pitch and stay through the ball, Lindor told ESPNs Marly Rivera. He told me that when hes had success against [Estrada], it has been looking for those high pitches, and thats what I did against him. I looked for the high pitch and then tried to hit it hard straight through the middle.Santana said he told Lindor: If you see a pitch about your waist, then you take a swing.After the game, Lindor came up to me and gave me a hug and said, Thank you, I did what you told me, and look at the result, Santana told Rivera.Kluber, Clevelands ace, pitched 6 1/3 spotless innings before manager Terry Francona turned things over to the Indians best weapon -- their bullpen. Andrew Miller made the Blue Jays look silly, striking out five of the six batters he faced, and closer Cody Allen earned the save with a perfect ninth as the Indians extended their longest postseason winning streak since 1920.The Blue Jays wasted some early scoring chances -- they had six runners in the first three innings -- against Kluber, and their frustration only grew as the night went on. Toronto slugger Jose Bautista struck out three times, and Edwin Encarnacion lost his cool when he was fanned in the eighth, jawing at plate umpire Laz Diaz.It wasnt like we faced the average Joe out there, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Kluber. Hes one of the elite pitchers in the game, as is Miller, as is Allen. We got some guys on base early. We couldnt get that big hit.After winning their first ALCS game since 2007, the Indians will try to take a 2-0 lead Saturday with Josh Tomlin facing Torontos 20-game winner, J.A. Happ. Tomlin was originally scheduled to start Game 3 but was moved up when Trevor Bauer sustained an odd injury as he sliced open his right pinkie while repairing a drone.Kluber kept flying in the postseason.The right-hander has not allowed a run in 13 1/3 innings this October, and he kept the Blue Jays inside Progressive Field after they teed off against the Texas Rangers in the AL Division Series.Estrada carried a four-hit shutout into the sixth before walking Jason Kipnis with one out. Lindor was in an 0-2 hole before the shortstop drove his homer over the wall in right-center.I thought [Kevin] Pillar was going to catch it, Lindor said. As soon as it went out, I put my hands out. I looked at the dugout, and everybody was going insane.Estrada allowed six hits in Torontos first complete game all year but made one costly mistake.I was trying to bounce it, to be honest with you, Estrada said. Good hitters are going to hit it out, and hes a good hitter.Kluber dodged some early trouble and held the Blue Jays, who hit eight home runs and scored 22 times in their ALDS sweep of Texas, to six hits in the first six innings. The Indians needed every out they could get from Kluber, who shut out Boston for seven innings in his postseason debut 10 days after he injured a quadriceps in a start against Detroit.The 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner, who will certainly get votes this season after winning 18 games, has been the only dependable starter all season for Cleveland, which lost Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar to injuries in September and is now dealing with Bauers mishap.I laughed when I heard, Kipnis said. I dont care, as long as he can pitch for us. Its not as funny if he cant pitch. If he can, [Ill tell him], Youre an idiot, but go get some outs for us now.ODDS AND ENDSKluber became the fifth pitcher to throw at least six scoreless innings in his first two postseason starts. The others were Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson (1905), Joe Niekro (1980-1981), Dave Righetti (1981) and Steve Avery (1991). ... Indians 3B Lonnie Chisenhall went 3-for-3 and owns a franchise-best .529 batting average in five career playoff games. ... Cleveland OF Coco Crisp equaled the LCS record with two sacrifice bunts. ... Torontos only other postseason complete game was by Jack Morris in the opener of the 1992 ALCS.COMEBACK KIDBlue Jays lefty Francisco Liriano will be eligible to pitch Saturday after recovering from a concussion sustained in the ALDS when he was struck in the head by a line drive. Toronto played with a 24-man roster in the opener as Liriano remained in baseballs seven-day concussion protocol. As a result, RHP Marcus Stroman -- Torontos projected starter in Game 3 -- was available in relief for Game 1.TRAINERS ROOMDevon Travis?will have an MRI on Saturday after reinjuring his right knee when covering first base in the fifth. He sat out the final two games of the ALDS with a bone bruise and is worried its worse.It hurts pretty bad, he said. I jarred my knee a little bit. I felt a sharp pain in my knee.UP NEXTBlue Jays: Happ struck out 11 and allowed one run over seven innings in beating the Indians on July 3. He was second in the AL in wins, going 20-4 with a 3.18 ERA. Happ picked up the victory in Game 2 of the ALDS against Texas, allowing one run in five innings.Indians: Tomlin gave up three homers -- to Martin, Melvin Upton Jr. and Encarnacion -- in a loss to the Blue Jays on Aug. 20. Tomlin went 0-5 in August but has bounced back and given up seven earned runs in 31 2/3 innings over his past six appearances.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Axel Tuanzebe Jersey .
