ATLANTA -- Corey Kluber insists no one in the Cleveland clubhouse is talking about the Indians longest winning streak in 34 years.Outside those walls, however, the Indians are big news as the hottest team in the majors.Carlos Santana hit a tie-breaking single in Clevelands three-run ninth inning, Kluber allowed only three hits in eight innings and the Indians beat the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Tuesday night for their 11th straight win.The winning streak is Clevelands longest since 11 straight from May 23-June 4, 1982 and also the longest in the majors this season.The unflappable Kluber didnt sound impressed.No one is really talking about the winning streak, Kluber said. We realize we are playing well right now. Were just trying to keep that going. Ultimately an 11-game game winning streak doesnt mean much if you dont continue to build the momentum that you have.The Indians won 12 straight in 1922. The longest streaks in franchise history were 13 games in 1942 and 1951.Kluber (8-7) didnt allow a hit through five innings. The right-hander allowed two runs on three hits and one walk with seven strikeouts.Cleveland began the day leading second-place Kansas City by five games in the AL Central.Arodys Vizcaino (1-3) walked Tyler Naquin to open the ninth and then walked Juan Uribe on four pitches. With pinch-runner Rajai Davis at first base, and one out, Santanas single to right field drove in Naquin.Braves shortstop Erick Aybar mishandled Francisco Lindors grounder for an error, allowing Davis to score. Jose Ramirez added a run-scoring single up the middle.Atlantas Jace Peterson hit a homer off Cody Allen in the ninth, giving him a nine-game hitting streak.Freddie Freeman added a triple off the center-field wall before Allen ended the game on Nick Markakis fly ball to left field for his 15th save.Cody didnt get rattled and he got the out, Indians manager Terry Francona said.Ender Inciartes two-run single in the sixth tied the game.Atlanta right-hander Matt Wisler set a career high with nine strikeouts while allowing two runs on six hits in six innings.CONFIRMEDA review confirmed Inciarte was out on a close play at first after Santana bobbled a grounder before tossing to Allen at the bag.Braves interim manager Brian Snitker and outfielder Jeff Francoeur, who was not playing, came out of the dugout to argue. Bench coach Terry Pendleton pulled Francoeur back to the dugout.I felt like I beat the throw, Inciarte said. He didnt even have the ball. I dont know what theyre doing in New York. I dont know what the deal is.LAYNE UPDATEUmpire Jerry Layne, who left Monday nights game in the eighth inning after he was hit by a foul tip from Markakis behind the plate, was at Turner Field on Tuesday but was held out of the game. He was staggered when the foul tip hit his jaw beyond the area covered by his mask. It was not known if Layne will work Wednesday nights game.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: OF Michael Brantley, on the 15-day DL with right biceps tendinitis, has been taking swings for two straight days and by all accounts really did well, Francona said.
