Cleveland Indians Lose Series to Detroit Tigers As Francisco Lindor Debuts

The Cleveland Indians’ lengthy struggles against the Tigers continued on Sunday, as Detroit beat them in an 8-1 game that featured a nearly two-hour long rain delay. Corey Kluber pitched five innings before the delay, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk, with just two strikeouts. Tigers’ left-hander Alfredo Simon also did not return to the game after the rain, but he had allowed just three hits and a walk with five strikeouts through five scoreless innings at that point. On a brighter note, Francisco Lindor made his major league debut, going 1-for-2 with a ninth-inning hit.
