The Clippers did their best to stay in the game on a rainy and chilly night at Huntington Park last night, but in the end their bullpen just couldn’t put zeros up on the board when it counted. Michael Brantley went 5-for-5 with 2 RBI, Carlos Santana hit his team-leading 12th home run, and Josh Rodriguez drove in two of his own, but it was not enough as single runs in the eighth and ninth innings off of losing pitcher Jeremy Sowers provided the final margin for the Red Wings.

Cleveland SP Aaron Laffey enjoyed his first win in 10 months. It isn’t even close to being No. 1 on his thrill list for the week. One day after the birth of his first son, Laffey (1-2) allowed one run over six-plus innings and the Indians beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win. “With runners on base or when I was behind in the count, I thought, ‘Come on, your son was born yesterday, you can’t give in,’ so it was part inspiration for me,” Laffey said...Read Full Story
