Well, that was quick. Justin Verlander has given up a run, already.
Cleveland leadoff hitter Carlos Santana faced a full count and drilled a 94-mph, four-seam fastball into the right-field seats. It's 1-0 Cleveland.
Verlander seeks to end 2-year skid
Tigers ace Justin Verlander takes the mound in the top of the first inning, and seeks his first win against Cleveland in two years. Yes, two years.
Verlander was 0-2 (4.50 ERA) against Cleveland last year. His last win against the Tribe came on April 17, 2014 at Comerica Park.
The Indians will leadoff with designated hitter Carlos Santana, second baseman Jason Kipnis and shortstop Francisco Lindor.
