Rookies Talbot and Tomlin win as Indians sweep Tigers

By AP

CLEVELAND – Mitch Talbot and Josh Tomlin both finished their rookie seasons with wins as the Cleveland Indians swept a doubleheader from the Detroit Tigers, 4-0 and 4-3, Wednesday night.

Tomlin (6-4) went five innings to beat Tigers ace Justin Verlander (18-9) after Talbot (10-13) pitched seven innings for only his third win in his last 13 starts to beat Max Scherzer (12-11) in the opener.

Cleveland tied its season-high six-game winning streak and beat the Tigers for the eighth straight time at home.

Chris Perez got the final four outs for his 23rd save in 27 chances and 10th in a row.
