The Indians got back to .500 for the first time since the opening week of the 2015 season midway through Sunday’s doubleheader against the Detroit TIgers, but they’d only spend a few hours there.
After winning the first game 7-2 and bringing their record to 70-70, the Indians couldn’t maintain that momentum and were knocked around in a 9-2 loss.
Starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (11-12) again struggled, allowing six runs on seven hits in three innings pitched to go with five strikeouts and three walks. Bauer worked himself into trouble in the third inning, walking Tyler Collins to load the bases with one out for Miguel Cabrera.
