Cleveland — The Tigers put up very little resistance against the Indians last weekend at Comerica Park, getting swept in three games by a combined score of 25-6. Truth be told, they’ve offered very little pushback against the Indians in two years.
But when the Indians kicked dirt at them Friday night at Progressive Field, the Tigers finally punched back. Problem was — they didn’t step on their neck to make sure they stayed down.
Brandon Dixon and Christin Stewart each homered and the Tigers built a 5-2 lead and KO’d starter Trevor Bauer in the fifth inning.
