Cleveland -- Jhonny Peralta hit an inside-the-park homer and Jeanmar Gomez won his first major league start Sunday, pacing the Cleveland Indians to a 7-2 win over Detroit.

Nix went 3-for-5 with an RBI and Cleveland went on to complete a four-game sweep of Detroit, their first such sweep of the Tigers since 1991.
