Detroit — It used to be different. Once upon a time, not all that long ago, either, the Tigers were the big brother in this rivalry. They were the team the Indians chased.
Hard to imagine that was ever the case.
The Indians thumped their little brother on the noggin again Tuesday night, repeatedly, cruising to a 10-1 win in the first of a three-game set at Comerica Park.
The Tigers have lost 12 straight games to the Indians this season. That’s one off the 13 straight losses they absorbed over the 1996 and 1997 seasons — which is the longest streak in this series.
