CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians rested several of their regulars a day after clinching the AL Central and lost to the Detroit Tigers, 6-4, on Sunday as Jim Adduci homered and drove in a career-high four runs.
The Indians rolled to a 15-0 win Saturday and celebrated their third straight division championship following the game. Francisco Lindor, Jose Ramirez and Michael Brantley – three of Cleveland’s All-Stars – were among the regulars given the day off by manager Terry Francona.
Josh Donaldson, acquired from Toronto on July 31, started at third base and was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.
