Indians 4, Tigers 3 (Game 2)

Cleveland Indians manager Manny Acta squeezed everything out of his team to beat Detroit ace Justin Verlander.

Trevor Crowe's suicide squeeze bunt on an eye-high 99 mph fastball scored the go-ahead run in the second game as Cleveland swept a doubleheader from the Tigers, 4-0 and 4-3, on Wednesday night

"It was special for us and for the fans the way we finished," Acta said after Cleveland's sixth consecutive victory.

Right-handers Mitch Talbot and Josh Tomlin both finished their rookie seasons with victories. Tomlin (6-4) went five innings to beat Verlander (18-9) after Talbot (10-13) pitched seven innings for only his third victory in his past 13 starts, defeating Max Scherzer (12-11) in the opener.
