Carmona Blows It Again


Tigers 4, Indians 3 - Ivan Rodriguez hit the winning two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning off struggling reliever Fausto Carmona to give host Detroit a victory over Cleveland.

With Placido Polanco on first, Rodriguez connected on Carmona's first pitch for his ninth homer. Carmona (1-7) has blown all three of his save opportunities since the Indians traded closer Bob Wickman to Atlanta July 20. Carmona has allowed 11 runs and eight hits in 2 2/3 innings over his last four outings.
