Tribe falls to Tigers, 6-4

CLEVELAND (AP) — Miguel Cabrera hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the seventh inning to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 6-4 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday.

Cabrera’s bases-loaded line drive off Kerry Wood (0-1) broke a 3-3 tie and Detroit went on to win its 10th consecutive game against the Indians. The Tigers are 18-4 in the series over the past two years, outscoring Cleveland 116-79.

Justin Verlander (5-2) gave up three runs over six innings, striking out nine. A year ago, the right-hander was 4-0 with a 0.90 ERA and three games of 11 strikeouts against Cleveland.

Joel Zumaya pitched two innings and Jose Valverde worked the ninth for his eighth save.
