Wahoos win game and maybe fight, too Fausto, Victor ejected after Sheffield charges mound... from first base JOSH WEIRCanton Repository “He called me out and I answered the call.”
Sheffield’s only been hit twice this season by Carmona, but apparently no one wanted to correct him at the time. Miguel Cabrera left his own kind of welt Friday on Carmona. The Detroit slugger hammered a pair of two-run home runs at a combined distance of 852 feet. Those two bombs — both off decent pitches — ruined one of Carmona’s better starts of the year. He allowed four runs on five hits in 61⁄3 innings, striking out five while not walking a batter. Detroit starter Armando Galarraga, who one-hit the Tribe through 51⁄3 innings, allowed a pair of solo home runs to Choo and Grady Sizemore. He left with two outs in the seventh when Sizemore blooped a double to left. Lefty reliever Casey Fossum walked pinch hitter Ben Francisco. Then it was Choo time. Fossum, who has dominated the Tribe in 2008, grooved a 1-0 slider that Choo hit 425 feet to right-center. Upset about striking out twice against lefties vs. the Twins on Wednesday, Choo worked with hitting instructor Derek Shelton and faced 100 sliders before Friday’s game. That hard worked turned into a curtain call for the 33,733 fans after the three-run shot. Choo had three hits overall, giving him a season total of 88 — a major league record for a Korean-born player. Kelly Shoppach was nicked by a Freddy Dolsi pitch leading off the ninth. Pinch hitter Ryan Garko advanced pinch runner Josh Barfield to third with a one-out hit off Gary Glover. Carroll then hit the first pitch he saw deep to right, well over the head of Detroit’s Magglio Ordonez, to score Barfield. “I was getting some jabs under the pile,” Carroll said of the post-game celebration. “I said, ‘You guys should have used those earlier in the game.’”
