hi, everyone, and good morning. wait a minute. it's a great morning. what a win last night for the indians, as they beat the blue jays ime so they sweep the red sox, beats the jays last night. they have not lost yet in the post-season, and head into the game tonight up 1-0 in the best of 7 series. let's go back to last night. terry francona had his guys ready to go. kluber stranded 7 runners. he pitched 100 pitches.

the playoffs. francisco lindor, the big below off estrada -- blow of estrada! 2-0 indians. andrew miller, nice having this guy on our side. huh? what a night for him. an inning and two thirds. he struck out the side in the 8th. a one, two, three 9th inning for cody, lindor with the final out, fitting, because he had the big hit 2-00 the indians win. let's hear from lindor about the big two-run homer. >> really, what i was trying to do that well to the at bat, just trying to stay down through the baseball, seeing some up higher, and stay inside the baseball. i mean, it, went out. >> got that change-up up, and put a fantastic swing on it, and it was the difference tonight. >> he was able to take

estraw a da that he -- estrada that he let trickle over the plate. so being able to take advantage was huge, especially for the bullpen. >> trevor bower will now pitch in game three on monday, not today. bower cut his hand while working on a drum. we've all been there, but he had stitches on his right finger. doctors say he'll be able to pitch monday. he can't have anything covering the cut and it can't be bleeding. >> he wasn't doing something that he just -- i mean, he could have been opening a box in the kitchen. those things happen, which it would aren't have, but it wasn't done maliciously, it wasn't done by being silly, it just -- just happened. >> so josh tomlin will now pitch today if game two.

pumped since monday, and, really, tomlin looked great in fenway, so the end are confident. tomlin has no issue bumping up and pitching today, and he'll pitch at home now. that's good. better than pitching on the road. if you're a starter, you want your home crowd behind you. and happ, look at that e.r.a. he's the starter for the blue jays today, and that's a little concerning if you're the indians. tomlin coming off that good start against the red sox. let's they only have one preseason game left, and that's a good thing, because the preseason really is boring,, and last night nobody played as they lost to the bulls. so they will wrap it up up in columbus next week. but we have better news than anything talking preseason. j.r. smith and the cavs have agreed to a contract. a reported four-year deal worth $57 million, so just over 14 million a year. that's a big win for smith who has been holding out during training camped a odds over the

contract. j.r. also announced his family will be having another baby. made that announcement last night. so congratulations to j.r. smith. really shea a fan favorite, no question about it. >> the cleveland monsters opening night last night, and they have a celebration, as they won the cup last week. they took on the ice hogs, and they won 2-1 she browns have is not won this year. they will he at the same time to do that on the road tomorrow at tennessee, but the titans are a 7-point favorite. cody kessler starts. his backup will be hogan, the rookie out of stanford. josh mccowan is out form tomorrow. terrell pryor might each get

kessler is back to start. and we'll have highlights later on tonight of the game between the indians and the blue jays. a man attacked me in a parking garage. tried to stab me with an 8-inch knife. but i carry a pistol. i fight back.

every woman has a right to defend herself with a gun if she chooses. hillary clinton disagrees with that. don't let politicians take away your right to own a gun.

the sunglasses. you're going to need this, too. especially this morning, lots of sunshine out there. >> keeping our heads a little warm. >> exactly, because it's a chillier start this morning. but here is what it looks like live from our progressive field tower cam. you can see the crews there doing a great job cleaning up after yesterday's big win at progressive field. and if you are so lucky to have tickets to this afternoon's game, number one, here is what it looks like. by first pitch at 4:00 p.m., looking at temperatures in the mid-70s. i think we'll enjoy more sunshine by that point. we'll start to build in a few extra clouds during the later afternoon into the evening. so by the 9th inning, looking at temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s. so that's your day today. the rain returns tomorrow it will be a great day to just is it back and relax.

here until your sunday evening, and that leads to a much warmer workweek with temperatures back in the 80s. not right now, though. we're currently in the 40s. lower 50s in downtown. nice and dry right nowpy think that for the most part, that's the way we stay. the reason why we'll see those showers tomorrow is with an approach of a cold front. and, again, this moves on in, more so tomorrow afternoon, into tomorrow evening. so that's going to be your sunday. let's walk you through your forecast and show you what it looks like. so we'll pick things up at 10:00. so now through lunchtime, it looks awesome out there. if you have a friends or family doing -- we're twoing to call it the pumpkin run in downtown. it looks great. akron and canton, a great- looking morning into the afternoon. we'll slowly increase those clouds, just a little, and an isolated sprinkle chance, only about a 10% chance this

most of us stay nice and dry. watch what happens tomorrow evening. so if you're a third shift worker, i think that you'll see a couple of those scattered showers in the mix. temperatures today in the 70s. live it, love it, again joy it. low-to-mid 60s ask what we're forecasting overnight with your wind nation seven-day forecast. showing you 80s back in store by monday and tuesday. a cold front moves in and increases our cloud ve wednesday, thursday, and on friday. so long story short, just a good-looking day today ahead of us, be it and only gets better with more rain. what do you have going on over there? and save me one. >> oh, the beer is flowing, and we're not just talking about the tribe game. we are talking about cleveland beer week, which is something that you haven't, you'll want to check out. mike and andy join me from market garden brewery, as well
