MLB – Tigers
Alfredo Simon worked five shutout innings, as the Detroit Tigers blasted the Cleveland Indians 8-1 yesterday. Simon left the game with a 2-0 lead because of a rain delay. Miguel Cabrera hit a 450-foot solo home run in the 4th inning. After the rain passed, J.D. Martinez blasted a three-run homer in the sixth inning. Cleveland’s only run came when Brandon Moss homered off Joakim Soria in the ninth.
