Detroit – The Tigers on Sunday had one go-ahead run taken off the board by a questionable ruling by first base umpire Tim Timmons. They had another go-ahead run wiped out by an extremely questionable base-running decision by Miguel Cabrera.
Manager Ron Gardenhire and outfielder Cameron Maybin were ejected. Shortstop Niko Goodrum left the game with tightness in his right-upper back.
When the smoke cleared at Comerica Park, though, it was the same as it ever was: The Cleveland Indians slugged five home runs and completed the three-game sweep with an 8-5 win. They have now beaten the Tigers 20 straight times.
