CLEVELAND _ With LeBron James in the house, anything is possible.
The Indians, trailing 2-1 entering the bottom of the ninth inning, hit back-to-back home runs to win it 3-2, and it included one of the wildest endings possible to any baseball game.
With one out and Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna on the mound, Jose Ramirez slammed a solo home run to right field to tie it at 2.
Tyler Naquin, who won Thursday's game with a walk-off sacrifice fly, drove a ball off the right-field wall that got away from the Blue Jays' outfielders. Melvin Upton fielded it but slipped before throwing it. Naquin made the turn at third and came home, sliding head-first for a walk-off inside-the-park home run.
It was one of the most improbable, unlikely ways to win a ballgame. And it came with James in attendance.
The Indians' bats were quiet for most of the night against starting pitcher Francisco Liriano, quieter than the several thousand Blue Jays fans who made the trip down to Cleveland.
The Indians failed to put anything together until the sixth inning. Liriano at one point retired eight straight hitters between the first and fourth innings. A runner didn't reach second base until the fifth.
Finally, in the sixth, they broke through. Jason Kipnis singled to right field with one out. He then took off on a passed ball, which combined with an error on second baseman Devon Travis allowed him to advance to third. With two outs, Mike Napoli ripped a single to left field to cut the Blue Jays' lead to 2-1.
A walk by Carlos Santana brought up Ramirez, who's been among baseball's best with runners in scoring position, and in particular with two outs. This time, Liriano had him fooled, striking him out and causing Ramirez's helmet to come off during his swing.
Rajai Davis put a charge into a pitch from Jason Grilli in the eighth, but it fell short in center field. Kipnis then drew a walk, but it went for naught after Francisco Lindor and Napoli each flew out.
Trevor Bauer might have made more than one mistake Friday night, but he only paid for one. Still, it proved to be enough for the Blue Jays, who were able to muzzle Major League Baseball's third-highest scoring offense this season entering the game.
In the first inning, Bauer walked Michael Saunders and then allowed a laser of a two-run home run to catcher Russell Martin. It was a costly mistake, but from there Bauer settled down and had one of the best outings of his season, the first inning notwithstanding.
Bauer set a career-high with 12 strikeouts and allowed only five hits in eight innings. It was his seventh career double-digit strikeout game and his third this season.
Bauer has now delivered strong outings in two of his last four starts, which have come around two of his poorer starts of the season.
