CLEVELAND (AP) -- Justin Verlander overcame a rocky start and rain delay to get
his fifth win and Miguel Cabrera hit another homer as the Detroit Tigers beat
the Cleveland Indians 11-7 on Wednesday night, sweeping the two-game series
between the AL Central's top teams.
Verlander (5-4) was two outs from qualifying for a victory, when the game was
stopped with the Tigers leading 9-5 in the fifth. The right-hander came back
after the weather break and finished the inning to get the win, ending a run of
five straight victories by the Indians over former Cy Young winners.
The game was delayed 62 minutes by rain in the fifth and another 48 minutes in
the eighth.
