Omar Infante has now hit 33 home runs as a Tiger, going 5 years between big flies. Before going yard in the 5th, Infante's last home run as a Tiger was on July 26th 2007, against John Danks and the White Sox. Infante also has a 6 game hitting streak.

The last time the Tigers' number 1 and 2 hitters had 4 hits each was in May of 1994, Tony Phillips and Lou Whitaker.

Scherzer fanned at least 9 batters for 9th time in 2012, tops among all MLB pitchers with 9 games with 9+ SO in 2012.
More on Scherzer's K filled 2012: Scherzer joins Justin Verlander (2009 and 2011) as only two Tigers pitchers with at least nine games of 9+ strike outs since 1986.
 
Curveball key to Fister's recent success.
One of the major reasons behind Doug Fister's dominant run of pitching down the stretch last year after his trade to the Tigers was pitching coach Jeff Jones' encouragement to have him throw more curveballs. Now that Fister looks like he's rounding back into that form, his curveball is a big reason behind his resurgence.

Fister threw almost as many curveballs (24) as sinkers (29) during Saturday night's game against the Indians, according to data from MLB.com's Gameday. More important, he threw 14 of them for strikes, including five swings and misses, according to brooksbaseball.net. It's an uptick from his season average of curveballs, which he throws about once every five pitches.

"He did what he always does. He pitches ahead, changes speed and has that good curveball," Indians manager Manny Acta said after the game. "He pretty much just manhandled us."

The curveball looked sharper than it has for most of the summer. Jones noted on Saturday that he has seen better curveballs from Fister over his last couple starts. It isn't something they've emphasized during side sessions. Rather, Jones believes the improvement has come about with time and repetition now that he has been healthy for nearly two months.

More impressive to Leyland was the fact that Fister worked through the Indians' lineup with so few pitches, reaching just two three-ball counts all night.

"You saw a masterpiece last night," Leyland said on Sunday morning. "That's about as good as you're going to see without being a dominant stuff guy. That was the art of pitching at its best."
