DETROIT -- Miguel Cabreras fifth-inning homer might as well have come in the ninth.Cabrera hit a tiebreaking three-run shot moments before the game was halted for good, and the Detroit Tigers came away with a rain-shortened 6-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night, keeping pace with Baltimore in the AL wild-card race.Detroit trails the Orioles by one game for the ALs second wild card, and the Tigers certainly caught a break in this one. The rain was a factor throughout the evening -- there was also a delay during the third inning -- and it was coming down when Detroit began its rally in the fifth.With two on and one out, Cabrera hit a line drive over the wall in right off Joseph Colon (1-3) for his 36th homer.When you score runs, anytime in the game, its big, Cabrera said. Doesnt matter rain, no rain, if the sun is coming out.There was actually a cheer from the crowd when the grounds crew emerged to put the tarp on the field at the end of the fifth. After a delay of 72 minutes, the game was called. The stoppage in the third was 45 minutes.Blaine Hardy (1-0) won in relief of Michael Fulmer, who lasted only 3 1/3 innings.Cleveland manager Terry Francona didnt seem too upset to lose in this fashion. The teams are scheduled to play the series finale Thursday afternoon, but there was no telling when the rain would stop.I think they did a good job of handling it, Francona said. Nobody wanted to stay here until three in the morning, knowing that tomorrow might be a long one too.Before the game, it looked like a mid-game delay would likely hurt the Tigers, who were hoping for a big night from Fulmer. Cleveland was starting Zach McAllister, who has pitched almost exclusively in relief this year, so the Indians figured to be using their bullpen quite a bit anyway.But both times the game was stopped, Detroit seemed to benefit. The Tigers trailed 1-0 when the game was delayed in the third. When it resumed, James McCann and Jose Iglesias hit consecutive doubles off reliever Cody Anderson, and Ian Kinsler followed with a two-run homer to put Detroit up 3-1.Fulmer came back after the delay and took the mound in the fourth. The rookie pitched to only three more batters before being lifted after an RBI single by Rajai Davis. Carlos Santana hit an RBI single later that inning to tie it.Fulmers ERA rose to 3.06, and unless he pitches again in the regular season, hell fall a few innings short of qualifying for the title.I was more worried about a win, Fulmer said. Id rather pitch in the postseason than get a personal achievement, honestly.In the Detroit fifth, Iglesias led off with a line drive to right, which Lonnie Chisenhall misplayed for a single. He appeared to have trouble with either the lights or the rain. One out later, Cameron Maybin singled, bringing Cabrera up with two on.Obviously, you want to score in the fifth there, because if it gets rained out, its an official game, Fulmer said. Hes always coming in the clutch, no matter what inning it is.ANOTHER CHANCE?Fulmer is at 159 innings and would need to reach 162 to qualify for the ERA title -- or 163 if the Tigers have to play a one-game tiebreaker for a postseason berth. The right-hander is lined up to pitch that potential tiebreaker Monday, if needed. Detroit could also conceivably use him in relief in one of these next few games, although manager Brad Ausmus seems hesitant to go that route.Assuming that were still in the thick of it, that might be tough to do because we might need him to pitch after Sunday, Ausmus said. I dont know that I would want to ask him to do that. Well see.Fulmers ERA is at 3.057. Torontos Aaron Sanchez is close behind at 3.065 and is on track to start Sunday.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: 3B Nick Castellanos, who returned Tuesday night from a left hand injury, was in the starting lineup Wednesday and was 0 for 1.UP NEXTIndians: Cleveland sends LHP Ryan Merritt (0-0) to the mound for his first major league start Thursday, weather permitting.Tigers: Detroit starts LHP Daniel Norris (3-2).---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Nike Shox Womens .

Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahomas wide receivers have grown weary of the question they will be asked until the season starts. How in the world will they fill the considerable void left by the departure of Sterling Shepard?With 86 catches for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns, Shepard provided 29.5 percent of Oklahomas catches, 32.2 percent of its receiving yards and 29 percent of its receiving touchdowns.Now Shepard is in training camp with the New York Giants and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and second-year offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley must figure out how to replace that production. While touting Shepards example to the Sooners current receivers, Riley said hes letting them know they will be counted on to make the big plays this season.I think they sense that, Riley said. I think they sense there are more opportunities. We want to be a more well-rounded group. In a perfect world, we dont have a guy who we will throw it to that high a percent of the time. ... I think through the development of the offense as we go through these years in recruiting, I think were going to be a more well-rounded group, and the thought is, much tougher to defend.No one receiver figures to come close to the numbers posted last season by Shepard, but the list of those who could see more chances is long. Its led by senior Dede Westbrook, the Sooners top returning receiver with 46 catches for 743 yards and four touchdowns in 2015.Senior Jarvis Baxter (20 catches) and sophomore Mark Andrews (19 catches) played in all 13 games last season, but fellow returnees Jordan Smallwood, Dahu Green, Jeffery Mead and A.D. Miller saw only spot action, combining for eight catches.Riley said the production of those players will be one of the deciding factors for us. ... Well get some opportunities one-on-one with guys like that. If we can win those battles, we feel well be tough to play.Baker Mayfield, a returning All-America second-team quarterback, has raved about sophomore Nick Basquine -- named as the Sooners top scout team player in 2014 before not playing last season -- going so far as too say he might wind up starting for us.dddddddddddd Hes going to play a lot anyways.Added production could come from a handful of newcomers. Freshmen Mykel Jones and Zach Farrar are highly touted prospects, and Riley said Jones is similar to Sterling in his explosiveness.At Penn State in 2015, senior transfer Geno Lewis had 17 catches in 13 games, and he started 18 times for the Nittany Lions over three seasons. Lewis said the lack of experience in Oklahomas receiving corps made it an attractive place to transfer.I basically went down and I wrote down all the power five schools and looked at all their depth charts for receivers and looked at their quarterbacks and everybody they had coming back and things like that, Lewis said. Oklahoma was just the best fit for me. I just felt like it was the best opportunity for me.Smallwood said it really doesnt matter who makes the most catches, just that the job gets done, and that the Sooners receivers have tried to tune out the doubters.We stay focused and dont really pay attention to what the outside world says, Smallwood said. Our whole goal is to do it as a team together. Were going to have people that hate on us and doubt us. Were going to work together as a team.Added Andrews: I dont really take much thought into being underrated as a receiving corps, but I know that we do have a bunch of hungry guys that have a chip on their shoulder, not because people are saying that were underrated, just because thats the type of guys that we are. Were going to be ready to play and show everyone what we can do.Thats the right attitude to have, Mayfield said.I think theyre sick and tired of hearing that our receivers arent going to be any good because Sheps gone, Mayfield said. They should absolutely take that personal. I think that theyre here playing receiver at Oklahoma for a reason. I trust them and theyre playing well right now and were only going to keep progressing as camp goes on.
