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 Cheap Panthers Jerseys Hoodies .

DALLAS -- After a two-hour meeting with Baylor officials on Tuesday, Big 12 officials said they are satisfied that the universitys administration is being transparent about its sexual assault scandal, and that the school is committed to being Title IX compliant in the future.Baylor interim president David Garland, Baylor board of regents chairman Ronald Murff and regent David Harper met with the Big 12 board of directors on Tuesday to discuss the schools handling of the sexual assault crisis.Questions and answers were received, and I would say we were very pleased, said Oklahoma president David Boren, chairman of the Big 12 board of directors. Overall, I would say they were very forthcoming today, and [have made a] strong commitment to the changes that are necessary to make a basic change in the culture on the campus and to have all of their students feel protected.Until Tuesdays meeting, Big 12 officials had become increasingly concerned that Baylor officials had declined their requests for more information about the scandal. On June 22, the Big 12 issued a public statement demanding specifics of Baylors sexual assault investigations, including the full Pepper Hamilton report, and made a point of noting that this was the second time the conference had to ask.The first request was a letter to then-president Kenneth Starr on May 24, two days before Baylor publicly released the law firms report summary and announced the fates of Starr, athletic director Ian McCaw and football coach Art Briles, who were either fired or resigned in the past several weeks.Baylor officials told Big 12 presidents on Tuesday that the school doesnt have a full written report from Pepper Hamilton, the Philadelphia law firm it hired last fall to examine the way it handled allegations of sexual assault, and that releasing a written report would violate federal law protecting student privacy.ddddddddddddWe got some insight as to how the process unfolded and why it unfolded that way, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. I suppose that its easy to assert that they requested an oral presentation.Bowlsby told reporters on Monday that the league might eventually weigh whether to sanction the Bears for their misconduct. Although Big 12 bylaws dont specifically address the Baylor situation, the conference could potentially ban the Bears from postseason play or impose other sanctions.Baylor officials also contacted NCAA enforcement staff about potential rules violations shortly after receiving the Pepper Hamilton report.We wanted to make sure that the institution has the appropriate elements of control going forward and that includes a very robust Title IX process, separate and apart from the athletics department, Boren said.Overall, Bowlsby said he was satisfied with the progress Baylor has made.Theyve quadrupled the amount of spending on Title IX compliance, Bowlsby said. Theyve doubled the number of counselors that they have on their campus. In a relatively short period of time theyve made some remarkable progress.
