CLEVELAND — Oscar Mercado hit a two-run homer and Zach Plesac and three relievers combined for a one-hitter as the Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 8-0 on Tuesday night.

Nicholas Castellanos accounted for the Tigers' only hit with a leadoff single up the middle in the fifth inning off Tyler Clippard. Detroit had two baserunners and sent 28 batters to the plate — one above the minimum.

Plesac worked the first three innings, while Clippard, Nick Goody and Tyler Olson pitched two innings apiece.
