Indians starter Justin Masterson (10-7), who tossed a complete-game shutout in his previous outing, took a step back as he suffered his seventh loss of the season Friday night against the Tigers. The right-hander was shelled for six runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out six over 4 2/3 innings in a 7-0 defeat.

Masterson has allowed 12 runs combined over his last three starts (18 1/3 innings). He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at home against Toronto. He allowed one run on three hits over six innings pitched in his previous meeting against the Blue Jays on April 2.
