Peralta goes 2-4 in return to Cleveland
CLEVELAND, OH (AP) -- Armando Galarraga went from unhittable to giving up three homers in an 18-pitch span and the Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3 on Monday night.
The Tigers lost slugger Miguel Cabrera to an apparent right ankle injury. He landed awkwardly on the bag while getting back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the seventh inning.
Cabrera limped from the field and was taken for X-rays.
The first baseman and MVP candidate leads the majors with 126 RBIs, is tied for second in the AL with 38 homers and is third with a .328 batting average.
Galarraga (5-8) didn't give up a hit until Matt LaPorta hit a 412-foot homer to center leading off the fifth. One out later, Luke Carlin homered to right. Travis Hafner hit a three-run shot with two outs for a 5-2 lead.
