The Tigers rode a broomstick out of Chicago to Cleveland last Sunday night. On Thursday, they were swept out of town with it. Michael Fulmer and the Tigers’ defense were a complete mess, and they spent three hours in the headlights of an 18-wheeler with a Chief Wahoo logo painted on the front as it bore down on them, losing 9-2 as the Indians took four in a row.
Michael Fulmer just didn’t have it tonight. Much like Verlander before him, the Indians seem to hit the Tigers’ best starters better than anyone.
