White Sox snap Tribe’s mark at 8, but Tigers fall in Oakland
ASSOCIATED PRESS Associated Press
Cleveland loaded the bases with one out in the fourth on a walk and its first two hits, but Trot Nixon bounced into an inning-ending double play on the first pitch.
Westbrook (5-8) allowed three earned runs and 11 hits over five innings. The right-hander, who went 4-1 in six August starts, walked three and struck out six.
“It was just not a good day,” Westbrook said. “I didn’t pitch well and they hit a few that found holes.”
Left-hander Cliff Lee made his first career relief appearance after 125 starts in the sixth and allowed an RBI single by Pierzynski that made it 5-0.
Contreras walked six and struck out five in 6 2-3 innings. He left with runners on second and third and two outs in the seventh. Reliever Boone Logan struck out Grady Sizemore to end the threat, and Ehren Wasserman and Bobby Jenks completed the shutout.
Erstad hit his third homer in the eighth off Tom Mastny.
