MLB: Detroit 10, Cleveland 1

DETROIT, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Brandon Inge homered and finished with two RBI Saturday after being recalled from the minors, keying Detroit's 10-1 rout of Cleveland.

Inge was sent down to Class AAA Toledo in July after hitting .177 for the Tigers and was recalled before the game. The third baseman responded by going 2-for-3, sparking a 13-hit Detroit attack.

Doug Fister (5-13) was sharp, yielding just one run on six hits while fanning seven in seven innings.

Cleveland's David Huff (1-2), meanwhile, was shellacked for five runs on four hits and four walks in just 2 1/3 frames.
