The good news is the Detroit Tigers won in Cleveland on Friday night in the opening game of a three game series, 7-6.  The bad news was the Tigers led 7-1 going into the bottom of the ninth, when the Indians scored five times and got a pinch hit grand slam from Lonnie Chisenhall, against a struggling Detroit bull pen.  Miguel Cabrera mashed a three run home run for the Tigers, while Alex Avila added a two run shot.  Jose Iglesias had three hits, scored twice, and knocked in another run for Detroit.  Game two of the series is Saturday afternoon in Ohio.
