CLEVELAND, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Scott Cassidy's first major league win and Jason Kershner's first major league save added up Wednesday night to the Toronto Blue Jays' first sweep at Jacobs Field with a 6-5, 11-inning triumph over the Cleveland Indians.
Cassidy pitched 1 1/3 hitless innings of relief and Kershner struck out a pair of batters. It was Toronto's first sweep in Cleveland in nine years.
Shannon Stewart's triple and Vernon Wells' sacrifice fly in the top of the 11th off David Elder (0-1) gave Toronto a 6-5 lead.
Cassidy (1-4), who worked a perfect 10th, walked Coco Crisp and got Omar Vizquel on a flyout before giving way to Kershner. The rookie struck out Lee Stevens and Karim Garcia around an intentional walk to the dangerous Jim Thome to seal the win.
It was Toronto's first road sweep since May 31-June 2 in Detroit. The Blue Jays improved to 4-8 in extra innings while the Indians fell to 3-3.
The Indians tied it in the ninth against Kelvim Escobar, who suffered his eighth blown save in 38 chances this season. Pinch-hitter Ellis Burks doubled and Greg Larocca ran for him. Crisp bunted for a hit and Vizquel singled to make it 5-5.
Crisp's first major league homer in the fifth off reliever Scott Wiggins pulled Cleveland within 5-4. Wiggins came on for starter Mike Smith, who gave up three runs, three hits and two walks in four innings.
Carlos Delgado hit his 24th homer in the first off Indians
starter Dave Burba, who gave up five runs -- two earned -- and five hits in six innings.
Cleveland got RBI groundouts from Josh Bard in the second and Vizquel in the third and a run-scoring single from Garcia in the fourth, taking a 3-1 lead.
Delgado's two-run single capped a four-run fifth that gave Toronto a 5-3 lead.
