Porcello struggles as Indians beat down Tigers, 10-3

Rookie Jason Kipnis went 5-for-5 with four runs and three RBIs as the Cleveland Indians defeated the Detroit Tigers, 10-3. Kipnis hit a two-run homer off Rick Porcello (11-7) in the second. He added three singles and a double.

Ubaldo Jimenez (1-0), acquired in a blockbuster deal from Colorado at the trading deadline, allowed three runs and six hits in eight power-packed innings. He struck out six and walked one.

But the Tigers, limited to two hits through three innings, began to figure out Jimenez.

They rallied with two outs to score three runs in the fourth, getting an RBI triple off the wall in left-center from Ryan Raburn and a two-run double into the gap in right-center by Wilson Betemit to close within 4-3.
