Detroit — The Tigers have had three whacks at Indians right-hander Aaron Civale this year and they’ve yet to crack him. Shoot, they’ve yet to nick him.
The American League wins leader posted No. 7 Tuesday, stopping the Tigers on six hits over eight innings in a 4-1 Indians win at Comerica Park. It was the fourth straight loss for the Tigers.
The Tigers did make some noise in the ninth. A single by Jeimer Candelario and a walk to Miguel Cabrera chased Civale in the ninth.
Right-hander James Karinchak gave up an RBI single to Jonathan Schoop and walked rookie Akil Baddoo to load the bases with one out.
