CLEVELAND -- Jim Thome said he had only one regret as he entered the Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame: Albert Belle, another slugger who teamed with Thome on Clevelands powerful teams in the mid-1990s, wasnt in attendance for Saturdays ceremony.I was looking forward to seeing him, said Thome, the franchise leader in home runs with 337. I know the fans would have loved to see him. It would have been exciting.Belle provided a menacing presence in Clevelands lineup but was known as much for his temper, which led to several suspensions. He has had a chilly relationship with the Indians organization since leaving as a free agent following the 1996 season.Belle declined an invitation to attend this weekends ceremonies. He also didnt attend a 20-year anniversary celebration of the 1995 team that won Clevelands first pennant in 41 years.The Indians paid tribute to Belle with a video package featuring several of his memorable moments with the team.Frank Robinson, who became the first African-American manager in the major leagues with the Indians in 1975, and outfielder Charlie Jamieson, who starred for the team in the 1920s, also were inducted.Thome, who received a long standing ovation as he walked on the field, played for the Indians from 1991-02 and again in 2011. His 13-year-old daughter, Lila, sang the national anthem.We made it fun here, said Thome, who will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2018. Cleveland will always hold a special place in my heart.Indians manager Terry Franconas teams went against Thome several times over the years.I used to scream at him when he came up to hit, tell him to bunt, Francona said. He was one of the handful of guys if I wasnt managing Id pay to watch hit. He took those big swings and hit those majestic home runs. He had one thing on his mind when he was hitting.

To close it out with a dramatic comeback and complete a three-game sweep, they couldnt have scripted it any better. Hanley Ramirez and A.J. Ellis hit consecutive homers in the 14th inning after Ellis tied the game with two outs in the ninth, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat first-place Arizona 7-5 Wednesday night for their first sweep of the Diamondbacks in two years. "For us to walk out of here fighting and grinding the way we did, its going to make for a real fun trip home," Ellis said. Los Angeles won six of its first eight games on the road trip, including the first two against Arizona. The Dodgers closed it out with a flourish. With the Dodgers still in it because of Ellis hit in the ninth off Heath Bell, Ramirez hit the first pitch of the 14th off Josh Collmenter (4-2) just over the wall in right field. Five pitches later, Ellis made it 7-5 with his fourth homer. Kenley Jansen (3-3) pitched the final two innings for the Dodgers, who used all of their position players and had Zack Greinke, Mondays starter, pinch hit in the 10th inning. A team that was 12 games under .500 and 9 1/2 games out of first on June 22, the Dodgers are back to .500 and 1 1/2 games back of the Diamondbacks in the NL West after winning 15 of 18. "Obviously, you want to come in and win a series, but to win three was big for us because its a two-game swing when youre playing them," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "I really felt like before we got here, we really got ourselves back into it, where we were in the race and we knew it. This has been icing on the cake." Arizona went through eight pitchers in the 19th game in the majors to go at least 14 innings this season, according to STATS. There were 20 total last season. Aaron Hill homered and drove in two runs, and Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run double for the Diamondbacks, who went seven innings -- until two outs in the 12th -- without a hit. Arizona appeared to be in position for the victory after Bell got two quick outs. But, as has been the case lately, the Diamondbacks couldnt hold the lead. Adrian Gonzalez, who led off the seventh inning with a solo homer, worked a two-out walk off Bell in the ninth inning, then Ramirez moved pinch runner Jerry Hairston to second with a single. Ellis followed with his tying single off Bell, his fifth blown save and the Diamondbacks 19th. "We have to figure out some things so guys can get some outs later in the game," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. The more than five-hour game sstarted with the teams trading leads.dddddddddddd Tyler Skaggs had a superb return to Arizonas rotation on Friday, allowing three hits and striking out five in eight scoreless innings against Colorado after being called up from Triple-A Reno. The left-hander wasnt nearly as good against the Dodgers, giving up a run on Scott Van Slykes sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and a two-run double to Ramirez that put the Dodgers up 3-2 in the fifth. Skaggs then walked two to load the bases, but reliever Will Harris prevented further damage by getting Van Slyke to hit into an inning-ending double play. Skaggs allowed three runs on eight hits in 4 1-3 innings. Hyun-Jin Ryu wasnt much better. He gave up a solo homer to Hill in the first inning and a sacrifice fly to him in the third. Given the lead back, Ryu allowed a pair of one-out singles in the fifth and Goldschmidt followed with his two-run double. Martin Prado made it 5-3 with a run-scoring single. Ryu allowed five runs on seven hits in five innings, the second time in 18 starts hes failed to reach the sixth inning. Gonzalez led off the seventh inning with his 14th homer off David Hernandez to cut Arizonas lead to 5-4, then set the tying run after fouling off five pitches from Bell, whos allowed nine runs his past 11 outings. "I feel really bad because I left everybody down," Bell said. "We definitely should have won that game." Even after Bells blowup, the Diamondbacks had chances, as did the Dodgers. But, with fans falling asleep in the stands, Ramirez and Ellis finally put the Dodgers ahead for good, sending them home with an exclamation point to their successful road trip. "We might be the only team in baseball not looking forward to the All-Star break," Ellis said.
