CLEVELAND (AP) -- Josh Tomlin came through with another quality outing and designated hitter Travis Hafner hit a two-run homer in his last start for a while, leading Cleveland to a 4-3 win over the
Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night before the Indians leave for three NL cities.
Tomlin (9-4) allowed three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings.
He has gone at least six innings in 14 of 15 starts, and a minimum of five in all 27 as a major leaguer.
Hafner, sorely missed by the Indians when he was on the disabled list, homered in the sixth off Jason Hammel (4-7) and the Indians avoided being swept in three straight by Colorado.
Ty Wigginton's second homer, a two-run shot in the seventh, got the Rockies close but they couldn't do much against the bullpen.
