(AP) 0 Kelly Shoppach homered and drove in three runs and Shin-Soo Choo also went deep to lift the Cleveland Indians to their 10th straight win, 9-7 over the Detroit Tigers tonight.

Cleveland's team record is 13 consecutive wins.

Magglio Ordonez homered and drove in three runs and Curtis Granderson also homered for Detroit, which lost its fourth straight.

The Indians had surrendered a two-run lead and trailed 4-3 in the fourth when Shoppach put them ahead for good with his 17th homer, a two-run shot to left off Verlander.

Shoo made it 7-4 in the seventh with a two-run homer, his seventh of the year.
