ST. Wade Boggs Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Canadian John Axford is out as the Cleveland Indians closer. Indians manager Terry Francona announced the move before Saturday nights game against Tampa Bay. He met with the Simcoe, Ont. native prior to batting practice. Axford is 1-3 with nine saves and a 4.91 ERA in 17 games in his first season with the Indians. He has really struggled in the last week, and was pulled in the ninth inning of Clevelands 6-3 win on Friday night. "We told him, for now, were going to kind of get you out of that role and try to get you in some situations where we can get him on a roll again," Francona said. "I told him numerous times, because I mean it, the goal is to get him back as our closer, and I think he understands that. I dont want him to do it in like two days because I dont want some Band-Aid. I want him when he gets it, to take it and stay there," he said. A group of four relievers that includes Cody Allen, Scott Atchison, Marc Rzepczynski and Bryan Shaw could all get opportunities to fill the role. "The one thing I assured them is that when we get to the ninth, whoevers pitching, were not going to have four guys warming up because we think youre good," Francona said. Axford was signed to a one-year, $4.5 million contract as a free agent in December after pitching for Milwaukee and St. Louis last season. The one-time Brewers closer had 105 saves from 2010-12, and converted 49 straight save chances during a stretch. The Brewers traded an ineffective Axford to St. Louis in late August. Axford became a reliable reliever for the Cardinals down the stretch and pitched for them in the World Series. The Indians hoped the 31-year-old righty would do well replacing former All-Star closer Chris Perez, now with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But Axfords rough patch started last Sunday, when he gave up a three-run homer to Dayan Viciedo in the ninth inning of a 4-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The next day, Eduardo Escobar homered in the 10th off Axford and lifted Minnesota to a 1-0 win. Axfords latest tough outing came Friday night. He entered in the ninth with a 6-2 lead, but gave up David DeJesus RBI double with two outs and then walked Ben Zobrist to load the bases. Allen replaced Axford and got a fly ball from James Loney on a 3-2 pitch for his first save. Don Larsen Jersey .

Djokovic, who now leads Murray 13-8 all-time in their matches at the ATP tour level, defeated the Brit, 7-6 (7-1), 6-7 (1-7), 6-2, 6-4 on Wednesday in just over 3 1/2 hours. Murray broke Djokovic in the opening game of the first set to grab the early 1-0 lead. Djokovic answered by breaking Murrays next two service games to regain control, 3-1. Murray withstood the rally from Djokovic, however, knotting the match at 4-4 later in the set until the Serb handily won the tiebreak. The second set was much tighter as the two maintained serve until Murray, just like his opponent in the first set, cruised in the tiebreak to even the match at a set apiece. Djokovic broke Murray early in the third set which led to an easy win, then the Serbian broke Murray again on the final game of the fourth to reach the semifinal round. Djokovic will face Japans Kei Nishikori, who grinded out another marathon win to become the first Japanese man in the Open Era to reach the semifinals at a grand slam event. Roger Maris Jersey.

Nishikori, seeded No. 10, needed 4 hours and 19 minutes to beat Canadas Milos Raonic in the fourth round in a match that ended at 2:26 a.m. Tuesday morning. "I always love to play five sets," said Nishikori. "I think I have good records for, you know, winning third or fifth sets. Its not like I love to play five sets, but I have a lot of confidence to play in the fifth." Former top-10 star Marin Cilic secured a berth in his first-ever U.S. Open semifinal on Thursday.
