Cleveland Indians: Tigers Batter Ubaldo, Tribe

9-26-11     at Detroit     L, 14-0     80-80

     Ubaldo Jimenez's 2011 season arrived at a fitting conclusion on Monday night in Detroit.
     The former 19-game winner suffered his 13th loss of the campaign as his earned run average ballooned to 4.68.  Facing a good Tigers offense, Jimenez allowed 6 runs in 5 innings.
     After Jimenez spotted Detroit a 6-0 cushion, the Cleveland bullpen imploded.  Corey Kluber and Josh Judy each surrendered 4 runs in the 8th inning, an inning in which the 1st 7 Detroit batters collected base-hits.
     2 touchdowns of support helped Doug Fister cruise to his 11th victory.  Fister tossed 8 scoreless innings while striking out 9.
     Offensively, the Indians were limited to 4 hits, and only once did they advance a runner to 2nd base.
Ubaldo lost to the Tigers for the 3rd time this year
