On August 27th, 2008, the Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 9-7 to complete a three-game sweep of the Tigers at Comerica Park. Kelly Shoppach and Shin-Soo Choo each hit homers for the Tribe, and Fausto Carmona (now Roberto Hernandez) gave up four runs in six innings to get the win. And after a short 2,798-day break, the Cleveland Indians swept the Tigers at Comerica again. Trevor Bauer pitched 3 1/3 effective innings in emergency long relief (more on that later), and the Indians scored three runs in both the fourth and fifth innings to push them over the Tigers.
