Indians starter Justin Masterson has 13 wins this season but couldn't record another Tuesday night at home against the Detroit Tigers. Masterson suffered the loss as he ran into the Detroit offense in the fifth inning.

Masterson was breezing through four scoreless frames before the fifth inning began. Torii Hunter grounded into a fielder's choice for an RBI, Miguel Cabrera doubled to deep center for another and Don Kelly capped the scoring with a three-run homer off Masterson in the inning.

In the end, Masterson allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings and exactly 100 pitches. He took the loss to fall to 13-8 with a 3.46 ERA and struck out six batters.

The 28-year-old right-handed starter had allowed just two runs over his previous three starts -- all wins -- spanning 21 1/3 innings with 23 Ks over that stretch. He had a hiccup in the fifth inning Tuesday but should bounce right back. The Cleveland ace is scheduled to make his next starting appearance on Monday to begin a series at Minnesota.
