Detroit entered this game with a decent chance to come away with a win. With Spencer Turnbull on the mound and facing an underperforming Indians lineup, the only major hurdle is generating hits off their consistently terrific pitching. As you might expect, that proved a problem as the Tigers fell by a score of 3-1.
The first two innings were uneventful for both teams. Bieber kept his hands on the reins and despite giving up contact, the only real threat was a Schoop double. Turnbull also prevented the Indians from getting on the board, but that was fated to change quickly.
