Tigers 4, Indians 3
Justin Masterson struck out four in his first Indians appearance. (Mark Duncan/AP)
Jhonny Peralta drove in two, including a game-tying sac fly in the ninth to force extras for a second straight night. But Jose Veras gave up two runs, one on a balk, in the 12th to keep this one out of reach. Justin Masterson tossed three scoreless innings in his Tribe debut.
