Awful day for Tigers ends with 15-0 loss to Indians, who clinch AL Central

CLEVELAND -- The day that couldn't get any worse kept getting worse.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer left with an injury five pitches into the game; rookie Matt Hall endured a brutal debut in relief; center fielder JaCoby Jones departed after crashing into the wall; the Tigers' defense committed four errors and its offense managed only two hits.

The result was the Tigers' worst loss of the season, a 15-0 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Indians on Saturday afternoon at Progressive Field.

The win allowed the Indians (83-65) to clinch their third consecutive American League Central Division title.
