The Detroit Tigers scored early and often on Tuesday night, ripping the Cleveland Indians 12-0 at Comerica Park.  Miguel Cabrera had three hits, including a home run, and drove in five runs, passing 100 RBI on the season (102).  Justin Upton hit a three run home run, and Andrew Romine added a two run home run for the Tigers, who pounded out 16 hits.  Justin Verlander pitched into the seventh inning, allowing just four hits and striking out 12, to pick up the victory.  The Tigers are a game out of a playoff spot with five games left in the season, and face the Indians in the third game of a four game series on Wednesday night in Detroit.
