DETROIT – Dmitri Young’s two-run homer in the 11th inning gave the Detroit Tigers their season-high fifth straight victory, a 9-7 win over the Cleveland Indians.

It was Detroit’s third straight game-ending home run. Eric Munson’s solo shot in the ninth beat Arizona on Saturday, and Carlos Pena’s grand slam in the ninth led the Tigers past the Diamondbacks the next day.

Craig Dingman (2-1) pitched a perfect 11th inning for the win for the Tigers, who blew a 7-5 lead in the ninth but rebounded for another dramatic victory.

Jose Jimenez (1-7) walked Ivan Rodriguez to start the inning, and Young followed by lining a 0-1 pitch over the right-field wall.

With the Tigers leading 7-5, Casey Blake drew a walk from Franklin German to lead off the ninth. Ben Broussard followed with a two-run homer into the right-field stands to tie it at seven.

Munson homered and drove in four runs, and Bobby Higginson also hit a home run for the Tigers. Rodriguez was 3-for-5, and is has 48 hits in his last 101 at-bats.

With one out in the first, Higginson lined a pitch from Jake Westbrook into the right-center field stands. Rodriguez followed with a double off the wall in right and scored on Young’s single to center.

Cleveland took a 3-2 lead in the fourth when Omar Vizquel and Travis Hafner singled to start the inning, then Victor Martinez hit his 11th homer.

But Munson homered in the Tigers’ half after Pena drew a leadoff walk and Craig Monroe hit a one-out single.

The Indians cut it to 5-4 in the fifth on Vizquel’s RBI single, but Detroit regained its two-run lead in its half when Rodriguez led off with a triple and scored on a passed ball by Martinez.

Hafner homered off reliever Jamie Walker with one out in the eighth.

Munson added an RBI double in the eighth.

Westbrook allowed six runs and nine hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out eight.

Tigers starter Gary Knotts allowed four runs and eight hits in seven innings.
