CLEVELAND (AP) -- Max Scherzer pitched six strong innings, Miguel Cabrera homered and drove in three runs, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians 10-4 on Sunday for a three-game sweep.
The Tigers, swept in a three-game series at Progressive Field last month, have won four in a row overall.
Scherzer (9-3) bounced back from one of the worst outings of his career. The reigning AL Cy Young winner allowed 10 runs in four innings against Kansas City on Tuesday.
Scherzer gave up one run and six hits, striking out eight. He was struck in the back of the right leg by Lonnie Chisenhall's line drive in the sixth, but recovered to throw him out and completed the inning.
Cabrera hit his 13th homer in the first, added an RBI single in the third and drove in a run with a grounder in the fifth when Detroit scored seven times.
CLEVELAND INDIANS
Josh Tomlin (4-5) allowed eight runs in four-plus innings. He faced six hitters in the fifth and all reached base.
Cabrera, whose RBI double in the 10th inning Saturday gave Detroit a 5-4 win, lined a full-count pitch to right after Tomlin retired the first two batters in the first.
The Tigers took advantage of errors by shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and center fielder Michael Bourn in taking a 9-0 lead in the fifth.
Singles by Ian Kinsler and Austin Jackson placed runners at the corners. Cabrera's grounder scored a run -- the call of an apparent force play at second was overturned when a replay review requested by Tigers manager Brad Ausmus showed the shortstop dropped the throw from Jason Kipnis before completing the out on Jackson.
Bourn charged in for Victor Martinez's line drive but dropped the ball, loading the bases. J.D. Martinez, extending his hitting streak to 12 games, doubled to right before Nick Castellanos doubled to left for a 7-0 lead. Austin Romine added an RBI single off Kyle Crockett.
Michael Brantley drove in three runs for Cleveland with an RBI double in the fifth and a two-run double in the ninth.
