Rogers hit hard, but Tigers win

03/14/2006
Indians at the plate: Ryan Mulhern hit two home runs, including a two-run homer off Tigers starter Kenny Rogers. Casey Blake, Aaron Boone and Ryan Garko also homered to lead the Indians' offensive effort. Blake complemented his two-run shot with an RBI ground-rule double to deep center and another run scored. Jose Flores added two hits.
Tigers at the plate: Omar Infante went 3-for-3 in his second game back from tendinitis in his right shoulder. His two-run homer in the third inning scored Ramon Santiago following Santiago's two-run triple. Santiago added an RBI double in the fourth inning as part of his 3-for-4, three-run, five-RBI performance. Kody Kirkland tripled leading off the bottom of the eighth and scored on Mike Hessman's sacrifice fly to break a 10-10 tie.
Tigers on the mound: With the wind blowing out, Rogers saw far more fly balls than usual in his third start of the spring. Five of the seven runs he allowed in four innings of work scored on three home runs. Joel Zumaya followed him with three runs in as many innings on two home runs. Humberto Sanchez (1-0) struck out the side in the eighth.
Indians on the mound: Jeremy Sowers didn't get out of the second inning of his third appearance of the spring. He gave up two runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings, putting five consecutive runners on base in the second after retiring the first two batters of the inning. Edward Mujica yielded a four-run third inning before Steve Karsay gave up four runs in two innings. Danny Graves finally settled down matters with two scoreless frames before Jeremy Guthrie (0-1) suffered the four-run ninth for the loss.
