Are the Tigers hitters bound for another shutout? They were blanked Thursday in Kansas City (4-0) and have recorded one hit through four innings tonight against Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin.
Nine straight Tigers have been retired by Tomlin, who has been ahead in the count to Tigers hitters and issued zero walks.
In the fourth, left fielder Justin Upton increased his Major League-leading strikeout total (26) to begin the inning. Miguel Cabrera flied out and Victor Martinez grounded out.
