Cleveland Indians: Tigers Out - Slug Indians in Detroit

6 - 3 - 10     at Detroit     L, 12 - 6     19 - 33
     Less than 24 hours after Armando Galarraga nearly threw a perfect game at Comerica Park, the Indians and Tigers met up again, and this time the hitters took center stage.  The two clubs combined to score 18 times and Detroit, even though they were victorious, committed four errors, as this was not the prettiest game to watch.
     Cleveland found themselves on the short end of a 5 - 1 score when they erupted for a five - spot in the fourth inning.  Russell Branyan was hit by a pitch, Matt LaPorta walked, and Luis Valbuena singled to load the bases with nobody out.  The Tigers then fell apart defensively as Brandon Inge failed to glove a grounder at third and Carlos Guillen made a throwing error from his second base position.  Those two miscues cost the home team a total of three tallies, and they also set up more scoring from the Tribe.  Before the frame was over, Shin - Soo Choo had hit a RBI double and Travis Hafner had plated a run via a groundout.
     The Indians' 6 - 5 advantage didn't last long thanks to Magglio Ordonez and the rest of the Detroit offense.  Ordonez knocked in five runs with a triple, a double, and a homer, and his three - run shot in the seventh put the game away.
     David Huff allowed five runs in three innings, but that news was secondary to the fact that he was pitching just four days after taking a line drive off his head.
