With the wind whipping in from center field tonight in Detroit, Cleveland never lifted its offense off of the ground. The Tigers took the first game of the series 7-1 thanks to a shellacking of Trevor Bauer and the Indians ongoing inability to hit left-handed pitching. Bauer falls to 2-3 on the season, while the Indians have now lost 8 games against left-handed starters.
