Detroit's early woes continue as Carlos Santana hit a walk-off grand slam as the Tigers lost to the Indians, 9-5, in Cleveland.

In the ninth against Joaquin Benoit, former Tiger Jack Hannahan led off with a single and was lifted for a pinch runner, another former Tiger, Adam Everett. Grady Sizemore then singled to right, pushing Everett to third. The Tigers then intentionally walked Asdrubal Cabrera to load the bases before Santana ended the game.

Miguel Cabrera recorded his sixth homerun of the season and Max Scherzer went 6 2/3 innings, giving up five earned runs on six hits & five walks while striking out seven.

Tigers look to snap their 4-game losing streak Saturday when they play the Indians again at 6 pm ET.
