Austin Jackson may have been the only person in Comerica wishing the Indians would get another hit.
With two out in the sixth, he broke in on Ezequiel Carrera's drive, froze, and ended up chasing the ball to the deepest part of center field. Scored a triple, the hit ended Doug Fister's shot at a perfect game.
Fister set them down in order in the seventh, and Jackson's misplay became more glaring.
Michael Brantley led off the eighth with a single, and all became well. In the ninth, the punchless Indians managed a run on two hits, one of them Carrera's second triple of the game;enough to avoid a shutout but not a 6-1 loss.
