Max Scherzer allowed one run and five hits in seven innings. At no time this season has a well-pitched game been more needed.
A loss would have moved the Indians to within a half game of the Tigers and brought Mo Mentum over to their side for the weekend. With the win, they're 2 1-2 out, and Mo wears the Olde English "D."
Austin Jackson? He's still the man, only for a different reason. His two-run sixth inning homer broke a scoreless tie.
Avila and Peralta, the last two hitters Josh Tomlin faced, homered in the seventh. Benoit blanked the Tribe in the eighth, Valverde in the ninth, the way they drew it up in Lakeland, and isn't it great when everything falls into place?
