Jim Adduci drives in 4 runs as Tigers win season finale with Indians

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona is already thinking about the postseason.

The Indians rested several of their regulars a day after clinching the AL Central and lost to the Detroit Tigers 6-4 Sunday as Jim Adduci homered and drove in a career-high four runs.

Cleveland rolled to a 15-0 win Saturday and celebrated its 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 their manager.

Losing Sunday certainly wasn't part of Francona's plan, but since the Indians don't play Monday, he saw an opportunity to give his regulars a couple of days to regroup.
