Ordonez continues his red-hot start as Tigers finally beat Indians <h3>DETROIT 9, CLEVELAND 5</h3>CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- This time the Detroit Tigers were able tohang on to a lead. But they needed a little spark from theirmanager. A night after giving up five runs in the ninth inning, theTigers hung on to defeat the Cleveland Indians, 9-5, onSaturday. Magglio Ordonez and Ivan Rodriguez combined for eight hits andseven RBI as Detroit finally figured out a way to beat Clevelandthis season after losing the first four games between theAmerican League Central contenders. After seeing manager Jim Leyland ejected in the bottom of thefourth, the Tigers responded with a run in the fifth and threein the sixth to take control of the game. Leyland was ejected by home plate umpire Tony Randazzo forarguing about the strike zone. After pleading his case for 10minutes to no avail, Leyland walked into the dugout only tore-emerge and resume his argument with crew chief CharlieReliford, who was at first base. Leyland briefly argued withReliford before leaving the game for good. Justin Verlander also was ejected during Leyland's argument bysecond base umpire Greg Gibson. Verlander, who started inThursday's loss to the Indians, was standing in the dugout whenhe was tossed from the game. Ordonez, who equalled a career high with four hits, promptly ledoff the fifth with his league-leading 29th double off Indiansstarter Cliff Lee. Two batters later Rodriguez doubled to theright- center gap giving Detroit a 5-4 lead. The Tigers extended their lead in the sixth with some help fromthe Tribe's defense. Placido Polanco started the inning with aroutine grounder that second baseman Josh Barfield let slipbetween his legs. Gary Sheffield followed with a single to leftand the bases were soon loaded after shortstop Jhonny Peraltacould not field Marcus Thames' ground ball. Rodriguez made the Indians pay for their mistakes with a two-runsingle to left and Omar Infante drove in the Tigers' eighth runwith a single to left. Grady Sizemore brought Cleveland closer with a solo homer off ofChad Durbin in the sixth, cutting Detroit's lead to 8-5. Durbin (5-1) was able to hang around long enough to pick up hisfifth straight win. The righthander, who hasn't lost since hisfirst start of the season, gave up five runs on eight hits in 51/3 innings. Four reliever's combined for four scoreless innings, althoughJason Michaels flied out to the warning track in center fieldoff Zach Miner with two runners on to end it. It was another rough outing for Lee (2-3), who dropped his thirdstraight game. Lee allowed five runs in 4 1/3 innings and hasallowed 15 earned runs in his last 13 1/3 innings. The Tigers took a 4-1 lead in the third as Ordonez hit a two-runhomer to center, his 13th of the season, and Sean Casey had anRBI double. Casey Blake had three hits, including a two-run home run for theTribe, but it wasn't enough as Cleveland lost for only itsfifth time in 24 games at home.
