Joe Smith stopped Detroit's best hitter before Cleveland's hitters unloaded a stunning four-run rally off Tigers ace Justin Verlander. And the AL Central race got even tighter. Smith (7-2) got Miguel Cabrera on a double-play grounder to end the Tigers' seventh inning. Then Carlos Santana and Travis Hafner hit consecutive first-pitch homers off Verlander (11-6) in a six-hit, four-run bottom half that gave the Indians an exciting 5-3 win Thursday night.
