Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Lonnie Chisenhall's run-scoring single in the
bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Cleveland Indians over the Detroit
Tigers, 7-6, in the finale of a three-game series.
Holding a 6-5 lead, the Tigers sent Jose Valverde to the mound in the ninth.
Jason Kipnis led off with a double to center and scored two batters later on
Carlos Santana's triple to right. Don Kelly almost made a great leaping catch
against the wall on the play. Michael Brantley and Ezequiel Carrera were
intentionally walked to load the bases. Chisenhall's single to right-center
field plated the game-winning run.
