Fernando Rodney gave us another suspenseful ninth inning, giving up a two-run homer to Shin-Soo Choo, and putting the tying run on base. ("Can you hear the drums, Fernando" seems particularly appropriate in Cleveland.)
But Brandon Inge speared a soft liner by Jhonny Peralta to close this one out, giving the Detroit Tigers a series sweep, their fourth straight win, and a three-game lead in the AL Central. The magic number is eight.
Tigers beat the Indians, 6-5! Full recap to come. But for now, towel off, and enjoy the afterglow.
