TORONTO -- By winning the AL Championship Series in five games, the Cleveland Indians not only captured a spot in the World Series, they also earned a break this team could sorely use.Injuries to starters Carlos Carrasco, Danny Salazar and Trevor Bauer left Cleveland in a tough spot even as the Indians kept winning. They started Corey Kluber on short rest in Game 4 of the ALCS against Toronto, then sent a virtual unknown to the mound for Game 5 in Ryan Merritt. Cleveland won Game 5 and the series behind a solid effort from Merritt, but the Indians would love for Bauer and perhaps even Salazar to be able to contribute at some point soon.If not, well, Cleveland can still rely on a bullpen thats been up to the task so far. ALCS MVP Andrew Miller has received much of the attention, but the Indians go deeper than that. Their relievers have posted a 1.67 ERA in 32 1/3 innings this postseason, with Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw also making important contributions.The World Series starts Tuesday, and Cleveland is four wins from its first title since 1948. If the Indians pull it off, they could join an impressive list of teams who have won championships thanks to terrific relief pitching.Here are a few more examples:OAKLAND ATHLETICS (1972)Long before the concept of the one-inning closer took hold, bullpens were run much differently. Rollie Fingers was Oaklands star reliever during this era. In 1972, he went 11-9 with 21 saves in 65 appearances, pitching 111 1/3 innings, and Joe Horlen, Bob Locker and Darold Knowles also contributed out of the bullpen. The As beat Cincinnati to win the World Series in seven games, with Fingers appearing in six of them and posting a 1.74 ERA.OAKLAND ATHLETICS (1989)Tony La Russas 1989 champions were led by Dennis Eckersley (33 saves, 1.56 ERA) and got solid work from Todd Burns, Rick Honeycutt and Gene Nelson. The As won it all in 89, but Kirk Gibsons homer off Eckersley cost them the previous year, and in 1990, Oakland was denied by another incredible bullpen...CINCINNATI REDS (1990)Randy Myers, Norm Charlton and Rob Dibble -- dubbed the Nasty Boys -- formed a dominant late-inning trio for Lou Piniellas Reds. Dibbles numbers were particularly outstanding: 136 strikeouts in 98 innings and a 1.74 ERA. Cincinnati swept the As in the World Series.NEW YORK YANKEES (1996)Before he became one of the games greatest closers, Mariano Rivera was a setup man in 1996, throwing 107 2/3 innings and finishing third in the Cy Young vote. Closer John Wetteland earned World Series MVP honors, and Jeff Nelson was also a factor in that six-game victory over Atlanta.ANAHEIM ANGELS (2002)Francisco Rodriguezs debut year consisted of 5 2/3 innings in the regular season, then the Angels turned him loose in the postseason to devastating effect. He struck out 28 in 18 2/3 innings during Anaheims march to the title, teaming up with relievers Brendan Donnelly and Troy Percival to form a championship-level bullpen.BOSTON RED SOX (2013)Closer Koji Uehara capped an amazing season by allowing one run in 13 2/3 postseason innings. He was the ALCS MVP and had help all the way through from Junichi Tazawa and Craig Breslow.KANSAS CITY ROYALS (2015)After reaching Game 7 of the World Series the previous year behind the relief trio of Greg Holland, Wade Davis and Kelvin Herrera, the Royals won the title in 2015. Holland was unavailable for that postseason because of an injury, but Davis and Herrera were up to the challenge, combining to allow one earned run in 24 1/3 innings.---Information from baseball-reference.com was used in this report.

NORWALK, Conn. -- This serene Southern Connecticut coastal city received a group of special guests in July. They came from half a world away, making a short visit before heading to Rio de Janeiro in August.For three weeks, the Swim Seventy Aquatic Center, a swanky private facility, was home to the Chinese Olympic swim team. Far away from the intense media attention in Beijing, the Olympians trained twice a day, putting the finishing touches to their preparations for the worlds biggest international sporting event.Leading the Chinese squad was Sun Yang, the countrys No.1 swimmer and two-time gold medalist at the 2012 London Games. By 10 a.m. each day, he would arrive at the center to begin warm-ups and individual drills. The entire pool was busy with the metronome rhythm of strokes, splashes and training.He looks pretty good, a member of the coaching staff told Zhang Yadong, Suns personal instructor.Hes been in a good mood lately. Zhang said with a smile.Looking back at the preparations in the past month or two, everything is pretty good, Sun told ESPN.com in an exclusive interview.But for Sun, as well as people around him, this kind of optimism has been hard to come by since the 24-year-old suffered a foot injury during a January training session in Australia.Suns mother, Yang Ming, said her heart thumped after learning of her sons injury. Sun also told Chinese state media news agency Xinhua that the injury was so painful he almost cried.In the following months, Suns injury shadowed him, as well as entire Chinese team. The road to recovery was long and tedious. He began to walk on crutches in February. By March, he was able to swim, relying on strength from only one leg. Little by little, Sun was overcoming fear while racing against the clock.Some lost some progress in training because of the injury, Sun said. I was doing my best to overcome the obstacles and come back tenaciously.Prior to coming to Connecticut, Sun was training by himself in California, surviving a dull and arduous period filled with countless drills and treatments, as well as a two-hour daily commute to and from the facility.Sun tried to keep everything to himself. Speaking to ESPN.com, Suns mother pulled up a photo on her cell phone, showing Suns body and arms covered with medical patches after a treatment.He wont let me take pictures or share them on WeChat [a Chinese mobile social media platform], Yang said. I took this one secretly.With the help from his family and the swim team, Suns recovery was speedy. Last June, he won the 200-meter freestyle competition at the 2016 Arena Pro Swim Series in Santa Clara with a 1:44.dddddddddddd82 result, the best record in the world so far this year.In Rio, Sun will compete in 200-, 400- and 1,500-meter freestyle events. To defend the 400 and 1,500 gold medals he won four years ago in London, Sun will have to face several challengers. One is Italys Gregorio Paltrinieri, who won the 1,500 freestyle gold at last years World Swimming Championships after Sun withdrew from the final due to injury.In the 400 freestyle, Sun will face South Koreas Park Tae-hwan, a tough foe in the pool but a friend outside of it, who lost the gold to Sun in London. In the 200 freestyle, Sun will meet Japans rising star Kosuke Hagino, Great Britains World Swimming Championships gold medalist James Guy, and 27-year-old American Conor Dwyer.I am happy with my confidence level. Sun said. I havent swam a lot this year, but I feel like I am in pretty good shape after competing in two events. Everything, including my final sprints, has increased a lot compared to two years ago. The recovery has also been pretty good.As Chinas best swimmer, Sun carries the heaviest weight, trying to help his country get ahead on the medal counts list. To ensure Suns training quality in Norwalk, the Chinese team provided him with the best practice time slots, a team doctor and a therapist, as well as his own car.As a defending Olympic champion to compete this year, he said, I think I will have an edge over my rivals in terms of confidence and experience.Outside the pool, the 6-foot-6 Sun is a big basketball fan. He shoots hoops with his father during free time. While in California, Sun watched this years NBA Finals Game 5 in Oakland, witnessing LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers start their comeback back from a 3-1 deficit.I love watching Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, but at that moment I wanted LeBron to win, because he is the best, he said.The Chinese swimming team has since left Connecticut for Rio, and will settle into the Olympic Village in early August. Three weeks of training in the U.S. has allowed Sun to get into his best form. But now he just has to prove he is the best.On Monday, Sun Yang wrote on his Weibo (a Chinese social media platform): Third time heading to the Olympics, it is my utmost responsibility to win honor for my country. Ill strive to make my dream come true. No matter how harsh and exhausting the training is, I have no complaints or regrets. Rio, here we come. ' ' '
