The two heavyweight teams traded killer blows for the first two games of the brutal, three-game early-August showdown. Who would, on Sunday, be crowned the series victor, the ultimate champion of the baseball world?
Aww, who am I kidding? This is the AL Central. We’re flyweights at best around here; maybe welterweights if we’ve just eaten a big meal.
At any rate, the finale of the three-game series saw Cleveland beat the Tigers 7-5, with the Cleves scoring five unanswered runs to come back for the victory.
Like on Saturday, the start of the game was delayed by rain a bit.
