SEATTLE -- Working both sides of the plate and mixing in his changeup, Indians starter Josh Tomlin had little trouble keeping the Seattle Mariners at bay Saturday night. Tomlin threw the second complete game of his career, throwing a one-hitter with a career-high 11 strikeouts in Clevelands 5-0 victory over Seattle . Tomlin (5-5) didnt walk a batter and a leadoff single by Kyle Seager in the fifth inning was the only blemish on his evening. It was the second complete game of Tomlins career and the first one-hitter by a Cleveland pitcher since Billy Traber did it against the Yankees on July 8, 2003. "He commanded so well," manager Terry Francona said. He was expanding (the strike zone). He showed in to keep them honest and then hed go away. A little farther. A little farther, just leading guys to pitches. "That was just a tremendous outing." Its only the third time since 2002 that a pitcher has recorded a one-hit shutout with at least 11 strikeouts and no walks. St. Louis Shelby Miller struck out 13 in a 3-0 victory over Colorado on May 10, 2013. San Franciscos Matt Cain equaled Tomlin with 11 strikeouts in a 5-0 win over Pittsburgh on April 13, 2012. "I felt good and I knew I was commanding the ball well to both sides of the plate," Tomlin said. "I had to have a good changeup today to get them off everything else." The Indians jumped on Mariners starter Roenis Elias (7-6) for a pair of runs in the first inning. Asdrubal Cabrera doubled and scored on a single from Michael Brantley. Brantley advanced to second on the throw home and scored on a double by Carlos Santana to give the Indians a 2-0 lead. Mike Aviles singled with one out in the fifth and came around to score on Michael Bourns double. A balk by Elias moved Bourn to third and Cabreras sacrifice fly scored Bourn to give the Indians a 4-0 lead. Meanwhile, the Mariners couldnt solve Tomlin. He retired the first 12 batters he faced with some help from right fielder Ryan Raburn. He tracked down a deep line drive from Seager with a diving grab on the warning track in the second inning. "Great catch," Francona said. "Im glad it doesnt get lost two hours later because that was a really nice play." Seager singled to lead off the fifth and took second on a wild pitch and advanced to third when the throw from catcher Yan Gomes sailed into centre field. He was stranded when Tomlin struck out Michael Saunders to end the inning. "Our at-bats were not at-bats we want to talk about," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "We want to forget about them. It was one of those nights." Gomes homered off Elias in the sixth inning to extend Clevelands lead to 5-0. NOTES: Tomlin is 4-1 with a 3.41 ERA in five career starts against Seattle and 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA at Safeco Field. ... Indians RHP Justin Masterson is on track to start Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers after pushing his scheduled spot in the rotation back two days due to a sore knee. ... It was the second time this season that Seattle had been held to just one hit. Garrett Richards, Joe Smith and Ernesto Frieri of the Los Angeles Angels combined to one-hit Seattle on April 9. ... LHP TJ House (0-1, 4.88 ERA) will be activated to start Sundays series finale with Seattle. He will face Mariners ace RHP Felix Hernandez (9-2, 2.24 ERA). ... McClendon said after the game the team is expected to call up RHP Taijuan Walker from Triple-A Tacoma to start Monday against the Houston Astros. ...

He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.The brewing scandal is touching Rio de Janeiros 2016 Olympics.The CBV, which has been threatened with legal action from Graca, said Friday it would not hold a FIBV-sponsored Olympic test event in Rio in July, as scheduled. The test events are seen as crucial to the efficient running of the Olympics, which will open Aug. 5, 2016.Volleyball is probably the second-most popular sport in Brazil, and ties to the Olympics run deep.The head of Rios Olympic organizing committee is Carlos Nuzman, a former president of the CBV who built the sport into a local powerhouse. An International Olympic Committee member, he is not accused of any wrongdoing in the report issued by Brazils Comptroller Generals office, known as the CGU.In a statement Friday, the FIVB said it was aware of the allegations against Graca.The FIVB said it is important to point out that Ary Graca, and others accused, have rigorously and consistently denied any wrongdoing and have openly explained how, at all times, they acted in the best interests of Brazilian volleyball.The statement said Brazilian volleyball had benefited from about 350 million Brazilian reals ($140 million) in commercial services under Gracas leadership.Ass the president and others from the former CBV management team have mounted legal proceedings against the organizations and individuals for making false accusations, it is not appropriate for the FIVB to comment further on these matters until all investigations and legal action have been completed, the FIVB said.ddddddddddddA top player on Brazils mens national volleyball team said players feel betrayed by Graca.Most of the players have the same feeling of betrayal, player Murilo Endres said in an interview Friday with ESPN in Brazil. We have dedicated our time, our sweat, our knees, our shoulders, our ankles to this person and, unfortunately, we were betrayed by him. Indignation and betrayal summarize our feelings. But we will go after this, so it does not go unpunished.It is not clear if Brazils court system will act on the findings of the anti-corruption body.The CGU said the volleyball confederation under Graca misappropriated about $11 million in sponsorship income, channeling it to companies controlled by Gracas friends and relatives. State-run Banco do Brasil said Thursday it was halting sponsorship payments to the confederation.In a statement Thursday, the volleyball confederation said it was under new management and had put in place responsible governance, and above all, ethics. It said it had made its accounts available to supervisory authorities and had set up a permanent internal audit.What we want, what the volleyball community wants, is morality in the sport, coach Bernado Rezende said. The people on the courts are suffering with this. I, myself, had health problems because of all of this that is happening. We are on the courts, playing, fighting, and we see things like this.___Stephen Wade on Twitter:
