Detroit –— The Cleveland Indians came into Comerica Park Tuesday with a robust team batting average of .182. They had hit just four home runs.
But they doubled that home run total in six innings against the Tigers, swatting four off them and stopping the Tigers’ five-game winning streak with an 8-2 win.
Jordan Zimmermann had only allowed one run in his first two starts of the season. Only one of the 38 balls that were put in play against him were hard-hit. Against his slider, opponents were 2 for 24.
