Detroit Tigers lose 18th straight to Cleveland Indians, 10-5

Make it 18 straight losses.

The Detroit Tigers fell to the Cleveland Indians, 10-5, on Friday night at Comerica Park and extended their franchise-record losing streak against one team.

The Tigers haven’t beaten Cleveland since April 11, 2019.

Starter Ivan Nova struggled mightily.

Nova picked up his first win as a Tiger in Pittsburgh on Saturday, when he allowed five runs on six hits with three walks and three strikeouts in 5 innings.

But on Friday, Nova couldn’t get out of the fourth inning. The Tigers led, 3-2, entering the fourth but Nova squandered the lead when he allowed six runs, including a three-run homer to Domingo Santana.
