Doug Fister struck out a career-high 13 and Victor Martinez hit a three-run homerun as the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians, 4-2 to extend their AL Central lead to 7 1/2 games.
Victor Martinez knocked in a homerun on a 2-2 pitch from Ubaldo Jimenez (2-2) 420 feet into the right-field seats for a 3-0 lead in the 4th inning.
Jose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth to move to 41 for 41 in save opportunities this season, extending his team record and helping the Tigers improve to 14-4 since holding a 11/2-game lead on the Indians on Aug. 19. Detroit began a three-game home sweep of the Indians that night and has won five straight against them, sending Cleveland to its largest deficit of the season.
