Going into Friday night’s game against the Tigers, the Indians had six qualifying batters, all of whom were hitting below .225. The Tigers also had six qualifying players, all hitting over .310. The Tigers’ starting pitcher, Shane Greene, had an ERA of 0.39. Danny Salazar, with a 3.00 ERA, was coming off a great start on April 18 but just as one swallow doesn’t make a summer, one good start doesn’t make a reliable starting pitcher. Plus the Tigers swept the Tribe at home in their first meeting. So it was with some trepidation that I settled in to watch the game.
