Tigers

The Tigers beat the Indians 7-3 in Cleveland. David Price earned his seventh win of the season.  He scattered nine hits over six innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts. Andrew Romine was 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored.  Yoenis Cespedes and Nick Castellanos each drove in two.  Jason Kipnis had four hits and an RBI in the loss. The Tigers caught a break in the 5th.   Starter Danny Salazar walked the bases loaded for Miguel Cabrera, who hit what looked to be a sure double play ball, but he couldn’t handle it and everybody was safe.  The Tigers went on to score 6 runs in the inning.  Detroit, has won three-straight and will go for the series sweep this afternoon. Buck Farmer was called over from the Toledo Mud Hens to pitch for the Tigers. Farmer will start today's game against the Indians in place of Justin Verlander, who was scratched last night with stiffness in his back.  Verlander said he is hoping he will be able to be back on the mound this weekend against the White Sox.
