Live blog: Tribe get insurance run in 6th

Bottom 6th: Indians 2, Tigers 0

Carlos Santana doubled to left-center against Tigers reliever Blaine Hardy to leadoff the inning. After getting Jay Bruce to ground out to first, which moved Santana up to third, Hardy was shown the door. Drew VerHagen got the call from the bullpen, and he struck out Yandy Diaz before giving a free pass to pinch-hitting Francisco Mejia. With runners on the corners, VerHagen threw a wild pitch to Yan Gomes, allowing Santana to score from third and give the Tribe a 2-0 lead.

With a runner on second, Gomes grounded out to third to end the frame.
