Live Tigers blog: Avila doubled up to end 3rd

A double play ended things abruptly for the Tigers in the bottom of the third inning.

After Alex Avila walked with one out, Jim Adduci hit a screaming line drive at Cleveland third baseman Jose Ramirez, who made the catch and threw a bullet to first base to double up Avila.

After three, the Tigers are up 5-1.
