The Cleveland Indians are starting to assert their dominance over the AL Central. Their competition is reeling as the Tigers sit five games back, and the Twins are now six games back. The Indians rebounded from a shaky weekend to sweep the White Sox, who have now lost six straight.
Now the Indians welcome the Tigers back to town for the first time since April. The last time the Tigers came to progressive field, they were swept in a four-game series, and outscored 18-5. The Indians might expect a bit more resistance from the Tigers this time around, as Detroit has proven to be a resilient bunch.
