CLEVELAND -- Max Scherzer became baseballs first 17-game winner and the Detroit Tigers posted their 12th straight victory, routing the Cleveland 10-3 Thursday night. Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs as the AL Central leaders completed a four-game sweep and opened a seven-game lead over the Indians. Scherzer (17-1) allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings. He helped the Tigers beat Cleveland for the 12th time in their last 13 meetings. The Tigers have won 12 in a row for the first time since Sept. 2-14, 2011. Coupled with a 13-game winning streak by idle Atlanta, this marks the first time in major league history that two teams have had winning streaks of at least 12 games at the same time during a season since May 16, 1884, STATS said. That was the only other time it occurred -- the St. Louis Maroons had won 15 straight, the New York Gothams had taken 12 in a row. Clevelands futility for the series was summed up when manager Terry Francona let utilityman Ryan Raburn pitch the ninth inning. Raburn retired three straight hitters, striking out Matt Tuiasosopo, in his professional pitching debut and drew a standing ovation. Cabrera drew a bases-loaded walk during a six-run third and hit a two-run single in the fifth, giving him 105 RBIs this season. That gave Scherzer a huge cushion. He retired the first nine hitters, struck out five and one. He also recorded the 1,000th strikeout of his career when he fanned Jason Kipnis to end the first. Scherzer threw 100 pitches, and left with a 2.84 ERA this year. The right-hander is 4-0, allowing four earned runs in 28 1-3 innings, since starting for the AL in the All-Star game. Zach McAllister (4-7) allowed six runs in 2 1-3 innings, his shortest start of the season. Asdrubal Cabrera drove in Clevelands only runs off Scherzer with RBI doubles in the fourth and sixth. McAllisters short outing forced Francona to empty his bullpen, which was already taxed by Wednesdays 14-inning game. Preston Guilmet, Matt Albers and Marc Rzepczynski got the Indians through the eighth but manager Terry Francona needed one more arm for the ninth. The 25,131 fans cheered wildly when Raburn fanned Tuiasosopo and retired Hernan Perez and Brayan Pena on groundouts. Raburn became the first position player to pitch for the Indians since Andy Marte threw one inning against the Yankees on July 29, 2010. The series was billed as a battle between the divisions two top teams, but the Tigers sent a clear message. Detroit rallied off Indians closer Chris Perez in the ninth inning for a 4-2 win on Monday. Justin Verlander allowed one run in eight dominant innings in Tuesdays 5-1 victory. Cabreras home run off rookie Danny Salazar was the key blow Wednesday and the Tigers went on to win 6-5 in 14 innings. With the momentum clearly on their side, the Tigers struck early in the finale, sending 11 batters to the plate in the third. Cabrera walked for Detroits first run before Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez added two-run doubles. NOTES: Tigers CF Austin Jackson took an extra-base hit away from Nick Swisher in the first when he ran down a drive in front of the wall in left-centre. 1B Fielder made a leaping backhand grab of Asdrubal Cabreras line drive in the second. ... Detroit SS Jose Iglesias was scratched from the lineup because of a bruised left toe. He was spiked while taking a throw at second Wednesday. ... Tiger OF Torii Hunter was given the day off. "Torii is 38 years old and played 14 innings yesterday, so thats a no-brainer to me," manager Jim Leyland said. ... Leyland said Fielder had the option of being the DH, but chose to play the field. ... The Tigers continue their 10-game road trip with a three-game series against the Yankees. Detroit RHP Rick Porcello (8-6) faces New York RHP Ivan Nova (5-4) on Friday night. ... The Indians wrap up their seven-game homestand with a three-game series against the Angels. Cleveland LHP Scott Kazmir (7-4) takes on Los Angeles RHP Jered Weaver (6-5) in the opener Friday.Clearance New Balance Australia .

He was in a really good place in Seattle I thought. You hope coming back home that it kind of continues.It marked the second time in Carters career that hes hit 30 home runs and with approximately six weeks left in the season, Carter is hoping to keep it going.All the fives and zeroes are big numbers, and big positives from probably 20 on, Carter said. For us to be here already in late August is pretty good.Hell get a crack at padding that team-leading number Tuesday when Milwaukee takes on right-hander Jon Gray in game two of the series.Gray has never before faced Carter or the Brewers but has struggled away from Coors Field, posing a 3-5 record and 4.29 ERA in 11 road starts this season.Hell be looking to get back on track after three short outings and lasted just four frames his last time out, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk in the Rockies 12-10 victory over the Nationals.I have thrown worse than I did today aand gotten better results, Gray said after that outing.dddddddddddd I just ran into some trouble, and I didnt get quick outs. They were more patient with me, so I probably have to fill up the zone more early.Milwaukee will counter with right-hander Chase Anderson, whos looking to regain some stability after a fluke week.He started the second game of Milwaukees double-header against the Cubs last Tuesday, but was pulled after just two-thirds of an inning when he was hit in the left knee by a Kris Bryant line drive.He limped off the field and was diagnosed with a left quadriceps contusion but felt well enough to return to action Friday when he allowed two runs on three hits in two innings of relief in a 7-6 loss at Seattle.Before that, Anderson had been in a bit of a groove, going 3-0 with a 2.53 ERA in his previous four starts.It feels good to be consistent, going three or four starts and being able to do the same thing each time, Anderson said after holding the Braves to two runs on six hits and a walk on Aug 10. Two runs or less, thats the goal each and every time out. Its good to actually produce that, and give the team a chance to win.Prior to Monday, Colorado had won six of the last seven meetings with the Brewers including four in a row at Miller Park. ' ' '
