CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians and Los Angeles Angels will meet Friday night at Progressive Field in the second game of their four-game series. In the first game of the series the Indians won a game but lost a player, while the Angels lost another game, which is becoming a distressing habit.The availability of Indians designated hitter Carlos Santana for Fridays game is uncertain. Santana had to leave Thursdays game in the fifth inning after he was hit in the right side of the head by a line drive off the bat of teammate Francisco Lindor.Santana was sitting in the dugout at the time. I could hear it hit him. It was not a good feeling, manager Terry Francona said. But he was doing much better after the game. He doesnt think he has a concussion, but well get him checked out in the morning.Santana hit one of the three home runs the Indians belted in their 14-4 rout of the Angels on Thursday. In Fridays game the Indians will send Carlos Carrasco (7-6, 3.17) to the mound. Carrasco is coming off a fine effort in his last start, despite being the losing pitcher in a 3-2 loss to the Yankees on Aug. 7.In that game Carrasco pitched seven innings, allowing three runs on five hits, with nine strikeouts and two walks. It was a nice bounce back start for Carrasco, who like all Indians starting pitchers not named Corey Kluber, have had a bumpy last couple of weeks.Friday will be Carrascos fourth career start and eighth career appearance against the Angels. In his seven career appearances against the Angels Carrasco is 1-0 with a 1.36 ERA.The Angels will send Tyler Skaggs to the mound Friday. Skaggs is 1-0 with a 2.04 ERA in three starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, which caused him to miss all of the 2015 season. In his last start, Aug. 6 at Seattle, Skaggs gave up four runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. However, in his first two starts, against Kansas City and Boston, he pitched a combined 12 1/3 scoreless innings on seven hits, with 13 strikeouts and three walks.Skaggs will go to the mound Friday trying to become the stopper of the Angels longest losing streak in six years. The Angels have lost seven games in a row, their longest losing streak since they lost seven in row in April and May of 2010.At times during the streak we have swung the bats well but not pitched well, and at other times weve pitched well but havent hit, said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. We havent been able to blend the two together.The Angels last win was an 8-6 victory over Oakland on Aug. 3.Nobody is taking this in stride, Scioscia said. Nobody wants to get on a streak like this. It begins with our starting pitching. Were not frustrated so much as determined. Determined to grind through this and come out better on the other side.

Steve Young Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. He may be without a contract for next year, but Canterbury second-rower Tony Williams hasnt given up on finding the form that had him rated one of the most feared forwards in the NRL.The former Kangaroos star is having one of the leanest seasons of his career as he battles hamstring injuries and poor form that has sapped almost all his confidence.Williams, a NSW State of Origin inclusion in 2014, admits he hasnt delivered on the hype that landed him a lucrative deal at Belmore in 2013.I dont want to use anything as an excuse. I just havent fired since Ive come here, he told AAP.Theres games there where I see glimpses of how I can play, but I havent really had a full season where Ive been at my best.His star has fallen so far that the Bulldogs have opted not to renew his contract when it expires at the end of the year, with the 27-year-old resigned to looking elsewhere to play on in the NRL.I dont think theres anything there for me, he saidd.ddddddddddddTheyve obviously got a lot of young talent coming up. Raymond Faitala-Mariner, hes a big talent here and hes only 21. With the team theyve got here, theyre going somewhere.I would love to stay. Any player that comes to this team wants to stay. But its hard when theres a lot of talent. With contracts these days and the salary cap, its tough.However while he remains unsigned for next year, Williams hasnt lost hope of regaining the mantle of arguably the most destructive second-rowers in the game.With three games remaining in the regular season and a finals campaign around the corner, Williams is intent on earning another contract to stay in the NRL.I still reckon I could be the best and get to those Manly days when I was playing well. When I am at my best, Im one of the best in my position, he said. ' ' '
