Cleveland, Sept. 23 -- Carlos Guillen hit two of Detroit's three home runs Wednesday and had four RBI to send the Tigers rolling over Cleveland 11-3.

The Tigers, who opened the evening with a 2 1/2-game lead over Minnesota in the race for the American League Central title, captured their third in a row. Cleveland's losing streak was extended to 10 games.

Detroit batted around in the first inning and scored four times, getting RBI from Miguel Cabrera, Aubrey Huff and Brandon Inge. Guillen also reached on an error in that inning to produce a run and although he did not receive an RBI in that at bat, he stayed busy the rest of the game.

Lowell was in the game as a replacement for Kevin Youkilis, who was ejected for igniting the brawl.

Junichi Tazawa (1-1), making his first major league start, gave up three runs on four hits in five innings, with two walks and six strikeouts to get the win for Boston.

Cleveland, Aug. 1: Jamey Carroll singled in Jhonny Peralta from second with nobody out in the 13th inning Friday, giving the Cleveland Indians a 6-5 victory over Detroit.

The Tigers wasted a series of chances in extra innings before Cleveland made short work of Casey Fien (0-1), who was called up from Class AAA Toledo last week and was the eighth Detroit pitcher to see action in the game.

Peralta doubled on a 1-2 pitch to open the inning and Carroll singled to right on a 1-1 offering, ending the game.

The Tigers had their lead in the American League Central reduced to 1 ½ games over the Chicago White Sox. Minnesota, which fell to the Los Angeles Angels Friday, is two games behind.
