CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The first week was a bit of a roller coaster for the Indians. It started with a lackluster offensive effort in the opener in Houston. The Tribe followed that up with two wins against the Astros, including a near-no-hitter.
Then, the Tigers came to town. A merciless sweep sent the Indians to a 2-4 record after the first week of the season. Here is a sampling of some numbers that illustrate the ups and downs of the first two series.
