Indians get back to .500 with 7-2 win against Detroit Tigers

The Indians started off their double header with the Detroit Tigers on Sunday with a positive note, coming away with a 7-2 win to get back to .500 for the season.

Facing Tigers (64-77) starting pitcher Justin Verlander, the Indians loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth inning while trailing 1-0. Chris Johnson tied the game with an RBI single to right field, allowing every runner to move up a base.

Verlander then got Jose Ramirez and Jason Kipnis to harmlessly pop out, putting him one out away from escaping the inning with only one run allowed and the score still tied.
