Cleveland Indians

Indians right fielder Drew Stubbs was 3 for 5 with two doubles, a triple, three RBI and a run  in a 12-3 win over the Red Sox Thursday. Heading into the game, Stubbs hadn't had a hit since May 17, going 0 for 10 in his previous five games.

Stubbs's third three-hit game of the season bumped his batting average to .255. His triple was his first of the year.

Indians starting pitcher Zach McAllister rode a wave of run support to his fourth win Thursday night, holding the Red Sox to three earned runs on five hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five in the 12-3 win. All three runs scored on a David Ortiz home run in the third inning.

McAllister hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in a start this season and has a 2.89 ERA in 56 innings over nine starts. He'll take on the Reds in Cincinnati Tuesday.

Manager Terry Francona said Thursday that starting pitcher Brett Myers's velocity was down in his most recent rehab start, MLB.com reports. He will need at least one more rehab start before returning to the Indians.

Myers is 0-3 with an 8.02 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings this season.

The Red Sox signed former Indians reliever Rafael Perez to a minor-league league contract Thursday, according to The Plain Dealer.

Perez, who had shoulder surgery in the offseason, carried a 2.25 ERA with two strikeouts and three walks in four innings while under Minnesota's Triple-A affiliate. He will likely report to Double-A Portland, according to MLB.com.

Indians reliever David Huff was designated for assignment Thursday. Huff posted a 15.00 ERA in three relief outings.
