On the first pitch of the seventh inning, Marlon Byrd hammered a 92-mph fastball off Justin Verlander to the right-field seats to give Cleveland a 2-1 lead.
Both Cleveland runs are solo homers (Carlos Santana, first inning).
Bottomo 6: Upton's RBI double ties it
Justin Upton delivered a two-out, RBI double that scored Ian Kinsler all the way from first base to tie the game 1-1 in the sixth inning.
The Tigers entered the inning with 14 straight scoreless frames (dating back to Wednesday at Kansas City) and appeared destined to end the sixth with another goose egg.
