The days grow short when you reach September. And they dwindle down to a precious few for teams fighting to stay in their respective division races.
The Indians, barring a complete and total Tiger collapse, may have run out of days.
In game one of a series they had to sweep to have any serious thoughts of post-season, Doug Fister silenced their bats.
Fister pitched the best game of his career, holding the Tribe to two runs and four hits through eight innings while striking out 13.
Ubaldo Jiminez also pitched well -- three runs and two hits in seven innings -- but made one mistake, that Victor Martinez hit for a three run homer in the fourth.
The win puts the Indians 7 1-2 out with 24 to play, and a ten game road trip to Chicago, Texas, and Minnesota coming up once the Tigers series is over.
