WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- Grady Sizemore homered twice and Cliff Lee pitched three scoreless innings, but the Cleveland Indians lost 4-2 in 10 innings to a Detroit Tigers split squad Tuesday.
Jeff Larish drove in three runs for Detroit, two on a tiebreaking single in the 10th.
Lee, competing with fellow left-handers Jeremy Sowers and Aaron Laffey for the No. 5 spot in the Indians' rotation, allowed two hits. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second by throwing a slider on the inside corner for a called third strike against Curtis Granderson.
Josh Barfield had three singles for the Indians.
Larish, a first baseman who had 28 homers and 101 RBIs last season at Double-A Erie, came in hitless in 12 at-bats this spring before going 2-for-4. He tied the score at 2 with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and lined his go-ahead hit in the 10th off Scott Elarton.
