Detroit – Eighteen.
And counting.
The Tigers' chronic inability to beat the Cleveland Indians has extended into 2020.
With a six-run fourth inning, the Indians Friday night beat the Tigers for the 18th straight time, 10-5 at Comerica Park.
It is the second-longest losing streak against one opponent since 1969, trailing only the Orioles 23-game win streak over the Royals in 1969-1970 and the Yankees currently active streak of 18 straight against the Orioles.
This one looked promising for the home team for a quick minute. A two-run home run by Niko Goodrum in the bottom of the third gave the Tigers a 3-2 lead.
