In the battle of the bullpens, the Detroit Tigers jumped out to the three-run lead they would squander an inning later.
The Tigers' bats cooled off on Sunday as they fell to Cleveland, 7-5, in the finale of the three-game series at Progressive Field.
Tigers pitchers gave up seven runs, though only four were earned, on 11 hits, including two home runs, and two walks. Starter Willy Peralta pitched five innings, allowing five runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out four.
The Tigers turned to right-hander Erasmo Ramirez, who pitched two innings but gave up the go-ahead two-run homer to Bradley Zimmer in the seventh.
