Cleveland — At this point in the season, when you are 19 games under .500 and 4-13 this month, maybe you do accept the occasional moral victory.
The Tigers put up very little resistance against the Indians last weekend at Comerica Park, getting swept in three games by a combined score of 25-6. Truth be told, they’ve offered very little pushback against them for two years.
But Friday night when the Indians kicked dirt on them at Progressive Field, the Tigers finally punched back. Problem was — they didn’t step on their neck to make sure they stayed down.
