 CLEVELAND (AP) - Casey Blake is more relaxed since his 26-game hitting streak ended — and still coming up with timely hits.
Blake put Cleveland ahead with a two-run single in an eight-run sixth inning and the Indians beat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-6 Wednesday night.
"I was kind of hoping that hit would lead to something bigger," said Blake, whose streak — longest in the majors this year — was stopped Monday. "If I went up in that situation needing a hit to keep the streak alive, I have to admit it would be in the back of my mind. I was more focused, more relaxed."
