ARLINGTON, Texas -- Terry Francona liked the sound coming from clubhouse around the corner from his office -- the blaring music after a victory. It had been awhile for the Cleveland Indians, especially on the road. Corey Kluber, pitching less than 25 miles from where he went to high school, allowed one run over eight innings and the Indians snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory at Texas on Tuesday night. "Its good to get back in the W column," Mark Reynolds said. "We can stop worrying about it now and just relax and play ball." With the efficient effort by Kluber (4-4), some solid defence and timely hits, the Indians also snapped a 12-game road slide. "We played a nice ballgame, and we kept the line moving at the plate," Francona said. "Because of that you get to hear some music, which is a welcome sign." Reynolds had an RBI single in the fourth off Derek Holland (5-3) that put Cleveland ahead to stay. Drew Stubbs added a two-run single in the fifth and scored on a single by Nick Swisher, who had only two hits his previous 28 at-bats. Lefty Holland, who pitched a season-low 4 1-3 innings, was 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA in his previous seven starts. Holland struck out the games first three batters on 11 pitches. But the left-hander was gone after the Indians had scored three runs and his only walk loaded the bases with one out in the fifth. The Ohio native had been 3-0 in six previous career starts against Cleveland. "Youve got to give the Indians hitters credit. They fought for their at-bats and made him work. They got some hits when it mattered," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Youre going to have some days when it just doesnt work out." Neither team took pregame batting practice on the field after a busted water pipe under the infield caused a sinkhole right behind the mound. Workers had to dig more than 3 feet deep to fix the pipe, but completed the repair and had the grass back in place behind the mound about an hour before the game. With his team mired in the losing streak, Francona joked before the game that there were no Bull Durham-like shenanigans by his team trying to get a day off. The Indians were just fine, and happy when the game was over. Every starter in the lineup got a hit. Kluber, who went to Coppell High School, struck out three with three walks and benefited from three double plays. He didnt throw more than 10 pitches in an inning until the sixth. "It really wasnt any different than another game," Kluber said. "Ive seen, I couldnt tell you how many games here. Ive thrown here in college summer league. ... It really didnt feel any different." Francona was impressed. "Hes getting better right in front of our eyes," the manager said. "For him to go out there and kind of shoulder that responsibility, was, (were) really proud of him." Ryan Raburn had a leadoff double in the fourth and scored on Reynolds second hit of the game. Reynolds was 2 for 25 the first seven games of the trip that ends with Wednesdays series finale. Yan Gomes and Mike Aviles, the Nos. 8 and 9 hitters in the Cleveland lineup, had consecutive singles to start the fifth. Both moved up a base on Hollands errant throw into centre when trying to pick Gomes off second base. Stubbs followed with his runs-producing hit before Jason Kipnis was hit by a pitch to bring up Swisher. "Thought I had a good game that first inning, when I was in control," Holland said. "It was just an overall terrible performance. I didnt have my fastball. I made some pitches that they just found holes." After Kluber walked Leury Garcia and Andrus to start the sixth, Garcia was thrown out trying to advance to third on David Murphys flyout to left. Elvis Andrus led off the Texas first with a single but was quickly erased on a double play when Murphy lined out to third baseman Reynolds. Nelson Cruz grounded into a double play after A.J. Pierzynskis leadoff walk in the second. Murphy had an RBI double in the eighth. Pierzynski homered in the ninth off reliever Joe Smith. NOTES: Andrus has hit in all 34 career games against Cleveland, the longest hitting streak ever by a Texas player against one opponent. ... Rangers DH Lance Berkman reached in the first on a bunt single toward third base -- with the Indians infield shifted the other way and third baseman Reynolds near shortstop. ... Kipnis led off the seventh with a walk, stole second base and scored on a wild pitch.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand -- Star flyhalf Dan Carter has again been forced by injury to miss an All Blacks test against France, conceding the No.10 jersey to Aaron Cruden for Saturdays first test at Eden Park. Carter suffered a cracked bone in his hand during a Super Rugby match last weekend and was omitted on Thursday from the All Blacks lineup for the match; the first meeting between the teams since New Zealands 8-7 win in the 2011 World Cup final. A serious groin injury forced Carter to miss that match, also handing the starting role to Cruden who in turn suffered a severe knee injury and was replaced. The All Blacks lineup named by coach Steve Hansen includes two uncapped players on the bench -- Hurricanes lock Jeremy Thrush and Chiefs prop Ben Afeaki. Hooker Dane Coles has been awarded his first test start, ahead of veterans Keven Mealamu and Andrew Hore, after making four previous test appearances off the bench. Mealamu has been named as reserve. Utility back Ben Smith, who has also played at centre and fullback, has been named on the right wing, allowing the New Zealand selectors to play the out-of-form Israel Dagg at fullback. The lineup is notable for the number of players chosen despite poor form during the Super Rugby season. Cruden will play outside scrumhalf Aaron Smith and inside centre Maa Nonu, both of whom have struggled to command starting places for the Dunedin-based Highlanders, the last-placed team in Super Rugby. Nonu will play his 77th test, renewing his long-standing midfield combination with 66-test veteran Conrad Smith, to provide the nucleus of a backline that is otherwise light on experience. Julian Savea has been named on the left wing for his 10th test match after a disrupted season during which he has appeared in court on charges of domestic violence. Kieran Read will captain the team from No. 8 in his 49th test and in the absence of Richie McCaw, who is taking a "sabbatical" from top rugby and wont return until the Rugby Championships iin August.dddddddddddd Sam Cane will start in McCaws place on the openside flank. Luke Romano and Brodie Retallick, who share 24 test appearances, will combine in the second row as New Zealands only fit and experienced locking partnership. An injury to Sam Whitelock and the retirement of Ali Williams left Romano and Retallick as guaranteed starters and fast-tracked Thrush into the test lineup when the selectors next candidate, Dominic Bird, was also injured. Coles will start at hooker between Crusaders prop Owen Franks and Wyatt Crockett while two looseheads, Ben Franks and Afeaki, have been included on the bench. Tawera Kerr-Barlow has been named as the scrumhalf reserve in place of Piri Weepu who has a concussion while Beauden Barrett will understudy Cruden. Auckland Blues centre Rene Ranger could play his first test in three years if he gets a call from the bench. "Though the week has been disrupted with injury and illness, we have still been able to have a good weeks preparation and there is no doubting that our two (training) camps have been invaluable in assisting with this," Hansen said. "To their credit, everyone has worked hard off the field and we couldnt be happier." ------------ New Zealand: Israel Dagg, Ben Smith, Conrad Smith, Maa Nonu, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read (captain), Sam Kane, Liam Messam, Brodie Retallick, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Wyatt Crocket.
