Jeanmar Gomez wins MLB debut as Indians top Tigers

By AP

CLEVELAND – Jhonny Peralta's fly ball sent Detroit's Ryan Raburn crashing through a bullpen door for an inside-the-park homer, and Jeanmar Gomez won his major league debut as the
Cleveland Indians beat the Tigers 7-2 victory Sunday to complete a four-game sweep.

Gomez (1-0), called up from Triple-A Columbus to make a spot start, allowed two unearned runs over seven innings.

The right-hander was staked to a 3-0 lead in the first inning when Peralta legged out his seventh homer of the season.

With runners on first and second and two outs, Peralta hit a 1-1 pitch from Andy Oliver (0-4) toward the Cleveland bullpen.

Centerfielder Ryan Raburn tried for a leaping catch, but tumbled through the bullpen door.
