      DETROIT  - Doug Fister pitched eight strong innings and Alex
Avila drove in three runs to help the Detroit Tigers beat the
Cleveland Indians 14-0 on Monday night.
      Justin Verlander and Fister, who are scheduled to start the
first two games of Detroit's first-round playoff series, are now a
combined 14-0 with a 1.61 ERA in 16 appearances since August 16.
      Fister, who allowed three singles while striking out nine, has
been even better than the Cy Young favorite in the stretch, going
7-0 with a 0.65 ERA in his last eight outings. Fister (11-13), who
was picked up in a six-player deal with Seattle on July 30, has now
gone 20 innings without walking a batter.
      Ubaldo Jimenez (4-4), another pitcher the Tigers looked at
before acquiring Fister, gave up six runs on nine hits and three
walks in five innings.
