During this month of September, Jeanmar Gomez has pitched himself into consideration for a spot in the Tribe's 2011 starting rotation.
The 23-year-old hurler from Venezuela entered his Tuesday night outing against Detroit having notched victories in 5 consecutive starts.
However, the Tigers and their explosive offense ruined that impressive streak and saddled Gomez with his 1st loss since July 17th.
Gomez allowed 3 runs in the 1st, 1 in the 2nd, 2 in the 4th, and 2 in the 5th as Detroit built an 8-2 lead through 5 innings of play.
Delmon Young's 3 hits, including a 2-run homer, and 3 RBI keyed the bludgeoning of Gomez.
Facing a seemingly insurmountable deficit, the Indians showed their resilience yet again. The Tribe tallied twice in the 6th and twice more in the 7th before succumbing to the back end of the Tigers' bullpen.
