Indians Continue Dominance Of Tigers With 12-1 Victory
CLEVELAND (AP) - Lonnie Chisenhall was 4 for 5 with three RBIs, Carlos Santana and Tyler Naquin homered, and the Cleveland Indians remained perfect in 11 games against the Detroit Tigers this season with a 12-1 victory Tuesday night.
The Indians have outscored the Tigers 76-24 in the season series. Cleveland leads Detroit by 7 1/2 games in the AL Central.
Carlos Carrasco (5-2) allowed one run in six innings for Cleveland, which has won 13 straight at home.
Anibal Sanchez (5-9), who replaced the injured Jordan Zimmermann, allowed seven runs in 4 1/3 innings.
Cabrera ejected in the sixth inning against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
Cabrera hit a ground ball to third baseman Jose Ramirez with Ian Kinsler on first. Ramirez's throw to second baseman Jason Kipnis wasn't in time to get Kinsler but Cabrera, thinking the ball hit off his leg, never left the batter's box. He was called out when Kipnis threw to first.
Cabrera immediately argued the call and manager Brad Ausmus came out of the dugout. The umpires briefly met and the out call stood. Still carrying his bat, Cabrera angrily protested the ruling and was ejected by first base umpire Tim Timmons.
The ejection, the eighth of Cabrera's career, came with the Indians leading 8-0. Cabrera was named as reserve to the AL All-Star team earlier Tuesday.
