Series Notes:

HALL  OF  FAME  SATURDAY:  The  Cleveland  Indians  will  induct  3  new members  into  the organization’s  Hall-of-Fames  this  evening,  headlined by GAYLORD PERRY, who spent parts of 4 seasons with the Tribe from 1972-75 and went 70-57 with a 2.51 ERA in an Indians uniform…already a Cooperstown Hall-of-Famer, Perry became the first pitcher in major league history to win a Cy Young Award in both leagues, earning that distinction for the Indians in 1972…the 5-time All-Star represented the Indians in the Mid-Summer Classic twice in 1972 and 1974…he was also honored earlier today during the club’s first-ever Indians Hall of Fame Benefit Luncheon…JIM WARFIELD and JACK GRANEY will be also inducted into the Indians Distinguished Hall of Fame for non-uniformed personnel…Warfield was an athletic trainer for the Indians organization from 1965 until his passing in 2002…Graney was a left-fielder for the Tribe from 1908-22 and returned to the organization from 1933-1953 as a popular play-by-play announcer-the first player to enter the broadcast booth in baseball history.

NICE  START:  CODY  ALLEN  has  logged  10.1  consec.  shutout  innings since having his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus July 20 (opponents  2-for-31,  .065  at  the  plate)…that  it  the  longest  scoreless  streak  to begin a major league career with the Indians since ALEX HERRERA strung together 11.0 consec. scoreless frames from Sept. 13, 2002-July 13, 2003 and the longest to do so in the same season since TOM WADDELL had a streak of 12.1 scoreless IP from April 15-May 5, 1984.

THIRTY-THIRTY CLUB: Indians closer CHRIS PEREZ recorded his 30th save of the season on Thursday (98th save of his major league career), 3rd-most in the A.L. behind Tampa Bay’s FERNANDO RODNEY (34) and Baltimore’s JIM JOHNSON (33) and 5th-most in the majors…with that door slam,  Perez  became  the  5th  pitcher  in  Indians  history  to  record  multiple seasons of 30+ saves, joining DOUG JONES (3, 1988-90), JOSE MESA (2,  1995-96),  MIKE  JACKSON  (1998-99)  and  BOB  WICKMAN  (2001, 2005)…with 36 saves in 2011, Perez became just the 4th to do so in back-to-back seasons (Jones, Mesa, Jackson).
