CLEVELAND (AP) -- Jamey Carroll's RBI single in the 13th inning gave Cleveland a 6-5 win over the Detroit Tigers and capped an emotional Friday for the Indians, who traded popular All-Star catcher Victor Martinez shortly before the non-waiver deadline.

Carroll sliced his single off rookie Casey Fien (0-1) just inside the first-base bag to score Jhonny Peralta, who opened the 13th with a double. Carroll was mobbed in the infield by his teammates, who a few hours earlier were saying goodbye to Martinez, now a member of the Boston Red Sox.

Toma Ohka (1-4), the Indians' sixth reliever, pitched three scoreless innings for his first win since April 29, 2007, when he was with Toronto.
