The Atlanta Falcons and right tackle Ryan Schraeder?agreed to terms on a five-year contract on Monday.The deal is worth a maximum value of $33 million, a source told ESPN.Schraeders new deal includes $12.5 million guaranteed over the first two years, the source said, and $19.1 million in base salary over the first three. He was under contract through this season after signing a restricted free-agent tender worth $2,553,000.The toughness that he plays with, we totally rely on him both in the run game and the pass game, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said of Schraeder. The development that hes done over the last three years really set the stage for himself to be here for an extended time. Congrats to him. Were so pumped that hes going to be a part of it for a long time.With the move, the Falcons made sure to lock up one of the key figures of an improved offensive line. Schraeder, a former undrafted player out of Valdosta State in 2013, has been a regular starter since the 2014 season. He started all 16 games a year ago and has started all 10 this season, helping the Falcons to a 6-4 record and first-place standing in the NFC South.Schraeder, 28, is known for his toughness. He would have generated much interest on the open market, according to various executives around the league.With Schraeder now signed to a long-term deal, the next Falcons player up for extension is likely to be cornerback Desmond Trufant, one of the top players in the league at his position. Trufant is under contract through 2017 after the team exercised the fifth-year, $8,026,000 option, but that doesnt preclude the two sides from working out a lucrative long-term deal.

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians attempt to complete a three-game sweep of Minnesota on Wednesday while handing the Twins their 13th straigth loss.The first two contests were one-run games with Cleveland winning 1-0 in 10 innings on Monday and 5-4 on Tuesday.The Indians are expected to have a new player Wednesday as the club, according to multiple reports, has reached an agreement with the Oakland Athletics on a trade for outfielder Coco Crisp. The official announcement will be made Wednesday. Its not known whether Crisp will be in uniform for Wednesdays game, or Friday for the start of a three-game series with Miami at Progressive Field.In winning the first two games of the Minnesota series, the Indians received good work from their bullpen, particularly Tuesday. Struggling starter Josh Tomlin was removed in the second inning, but five relievers combined to pitch 7 1/3 scoreless innings on three hits.Thats a lot to ask of your bullpen, but we found a way to win, Indians manager Terry Francona said.Although the acquisition of Andrew Miller in a trade with the Yankees a month ago still gets most of the attention, right-hander Dan Otero has been an equally important member of the bullpen. Otero got the win Tuesday, pitching 2 2/3 scoreless and hitless innings, with three strikeouts and no walks. In 50 appearances this year, he is 4-1 with a 1.25 ERA.Hes like a wildcard for us out there, Francona said. He can pitch anywhere, and all hee does is gets outs.dddddddddddd Thats really valuable.The Twins, meanwhile, would just like to win a game in order to avoid making some unwanted history. The Twins 12-game losing streak is the third-longest in team history. The team record is 14 set in 1982.Not even a sensational season by Brian Dozier is enough to make Twins manager Paul Molitor forget about the fact that the team has gone two weeks without a win.Dozier homered on the first pitch Tuesday, giving him 12 home runs in August. Thats the most home runs in a month by a Twins player since Harmon Killebrew hit 12 in July 1969.Thats nice, but now is not the time to consider what individuals have done. Not when were trying to get out of this (losing) streak, Molitor said.The pitching matchup Wednesday features Clevelands Corey Kluber versus Pat Dean (1-4, 6.24).Kluber (14-8, 3.07 ERA) hasnt lost a game since July 3. In nine starts since, he is 7-0 with a 1.75 ERA. In 16 career starts versus the Twins, he is 6-5 with a 3.76 ERA after a 6-3 loss in mid-May when he gave up four runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.Dean (1-4, 6.24) makes his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester. In his last start Aug. 26 at Toronto, he was the losing pitcher in a 15-8 loss to the Blue Jays. He gave up six runs on eight hits, including two home runs. ' ' '
