Cleveland recorded season highs in hits (19) and runs (13) in a 13-5 rout of the Detroit Tigers on Monday night, presumably prompting a number of fans to mutter, “They need to save some of these runs,” to no one in particular as they watched from home.
1st inning: 2 runs
Cleveland wasted no time roughing up Detroit’s rookie starter Matt Manning, who was making only the third start of his big league career. Cesar Hernandez beat the shift for a leadoff single, pushing a grounder through the left side of the infield. Amed Rosario stroked a double into the gap in right-center, putting runners on second and third with no outs.
