Cleveland — Tigers starting pitcher Mike Fiers has done some good work against the Indians over his career. He came in with a 3-1 record, a 2.04 ERA and two starts this season where he allowed only two runs over 15 innings.
And, he breezed through the first three innings on 35 pitches, allowing just one hit — a solo home run to Francisco Lindor.
The Indians, though, kept pecking away, chasing Fiers after five innings and then blowing it open, beating the Tigers, 10-0, Friday in the soggy opener of a three-game weekend set at Progressive Field.
