Tigers down Indians and widen gap in the AL Central
Print Edition
Detroit’s Max Scherzer became the first pitcher this season to reach 17 wins, steering the Tigers to a 10-3 away win over Cleveland on Thursday.
It gave the Tigers a 12th straight win and extended their dominance of the Indians.
The Tigers completed a four-game sweep and opened a seven-game lead over Cleveland in the increasingly one-sided fight for the American League Central division.
Also Thursday, the Los Angeles Dodgers hot road form continued with a 5-1 win at St Louis and Bruce Chen pitched Kansas City to a 5-1 victory over Boston.
Detroit’s Scherzer (17-1) allowed four hits in seven innings while Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs for the Tigers, who beat Cleveland for the 12th time in their past 13 meetings.
Cleveland’s futility for the series was summed up when manager Terry Francona let Ryan Raburn pitch the ninth inning. The utility player — facing his old team — retired three straight hitters in his professional pitching debut and drew a standing ovation.
Los Angeles’ A.J. Ellis hit a three-run home run to help the Dodgers defeat St Louis.
LA has won 17 of 18 road games.
In other games, it was: Mets 2, Rockies 1; Pirates 5, Marlins 4; Phillies 12, Cubs 1; and Giants 4, Brewers 1.
