    The Detroit Tigers are leaving the Motor City on a roll. Their manager, Jim Leyland, refuses to get too excited about it.

    Jhonny Peralta and Ryan Raburn hit back-to-back solo homers in the fourth inning and Detroit went on to beat the Cleveland Indians 6-2 on Thursday.

    The Tigers, who won twice in the three-game series to move a game ahead of Cleveland in the AL Central, have won 13 of their last 18 games going into an interleague road trip against the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers.

    "We've got a little something going," Leyland said. "But it's such a long grind. I don't get carried away."
