CLEVELAND (AP) --
CLEVELAND (AP) - Carlos Guillen hit two of Detroit's three home
runs to help Rick Porcello and the Tigers defeat Cleveland 11-3 on
Wednesday night, the Indians' season-high 10th straight loss.
Porcello (14-9) allowed one run and six hits over five innings
as the Tigers won their third straight. Detroit entered play 2½
games ahead of Minnesota in the AL Central. The Twins open a
four-game series in Detroit on Monday.
Guillen tied a season high with four RBIs. He hit a two-run
homer in the third off right-hander Justin Masterson (4-9) and
connected on the second pitch from left-hander Mike Gosling to make
it 9-1 in the fifth. It was the fourth time in his career the
switch-hitter went deep from both sides and his seventh multihomer
game overall.
