It took 19 innings and their opponent sending two position players to the mound, but the Cleveland Indians ultimately outlasted the Blue Jays Friday afternoon to set a franchise record with their 14th straight win, a 2–1 victory in Toronto on Canada Day. The game, which was decided by a Carlos Santana home run off infielder Darwin Barney in the top of the 19th, was the longest in the major leagues this season, tied the Blue Jays’ franchise record for longest game by innings and was the longest played by Cleveland in 23 years.
