Tigers 10 Indians 4

After losing the last 3/4 games the Tigers won last night 10-4. They started the game off good with 4 runs in the first inning. Then Indians battled back to make 4-4 tie in the seventh inning. In the eighth inning the Tigers exploded for 6 runs. Three of those runs can on a homerun from Rondell White. The other runs came when Brandon Inge hit a double that scored 3 runs to give the the Tigers a 10-4 lead. The Tigers didn't give up any more runs and won the game to split the series(2 games a team)against Cleveland. Nate Robertson started this game and even though he didn't get the win he still pitched great allowing only 5 hits over 6 2/3 innings while striking out 8. Al Levine (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 hitless relief innings for the win. The Tigers needed this victory to help them get back on track after giving up 31 runs in the last 4 few games.
Notes-The Tigers are 8-5 on the season....White's homer was his third of the season....There was about a hour rain delay in this game....Indians' reliever Jake Westbrook pitched seven perfect innings.
