Max Alvis, Chico Salmon and Chuck Hinton led the way as the Indians salvaged the final game of the three-game series.
John O'Donoghue pitched a complete game for the win, scattering five hits. He walked one and struck out seven Tigers hitters.
The Tigers (41-35) scored their only runs on a two-run homer from Mickey Stanley (4) in the fourth inning. That cut the Tribe's lead to 3-2, but Cleveland added three runs in the fifth to pull away.
The Tigers now return home for four games against the Boston Red Sox. The two teams are tied for third place as the Minnesota Twins leapfrogged into second place.
Tigers starter Johnny Podres (4-3) lasted just four-plus innings as the Indians knocked him around to the tune of six runs and 10 hits. Relievers Mike Marshall and Dave Wickersham each pitched two shutout innings, but it was too little, too late.
