Game 45 @ CLE

Jordan Zimmermann and Derek Love provided an excellent pitching matchup. Lowe went longer, but he gave up all of the Tigers' runs.

The bullpen let down their guard late. Matt Guerrier surrendered the game-tying blast, and Randy Choate was stuck with the loss.

Carlos Santana tied it for the Indians, and Casey Kotchman walked off.
