DETROIT - Ramon Santiago's RBI triple in the bottom of the
10th inning gave Detroit a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on

on the eve of their big series against Cleveland.
With one out in the 10th, Victor Martinez singled off Kyle

Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon and pitcher David Price were
ejected after a close play at the plate in the seventh.
Detroit (36-30) begins a three-game series with Cleveland
