CLEVELAND - Doug Fister struck out a career-high 13, Victor
Martinez hit a three-run homer and the Detroit Tigers beat the
Cleveland Indians 4-2 on Monday to extended their AL Central lead
to 7½ games.
Fister (7-13) improved to 4-1 in seven starts since being
acquired from Seattle on July 30. The right-hander gave up an
earned run and four hits over eight innings.
Jose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth for his 41st consecutive
save, extending his team record and helping the Tigers improve to
14-4 since holding a 1½-game lead on the Indians on Aug. 19.
Detroit began a three-game home sweep of the Indians that night and
has won five straight against them, sending Cleveland to its
largest deficit of the season.
