Santana slam lifts Indians
Carlos Santana hit a grand slam with one out in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a 9-5 win over the Detroit Tigers as the surging Indians extended their home winning streak to 11 games Friday night.
Cleveland twice overcame three-run deficits to earn its fourth straight win and hand the Tigers their fourth consecutive loss. The Indians remained unbeaten at Progressive Field since April 2 -- their longest streak at home since winning 13 in a row in 1996.
Cleveland has 17 wins in April, the most by the franchise in 111 years in the AL.
