Cleveland – Beanballs, bench warnings, ejections, a super-slow, in-your-face home run stroll – finally, some life in this Cleveland-Detroit series.
It may be too little too late – it was just their second win in 15 games against the Indians – but the Tigers salvaged the final game of the three-game set Sunday.
The offense, shut out for 10 innings Saturday and the first two Sunday, finally awakened. Shane Greene (1u2154 innings) and closer Francisco Rodriguez (1u2153 innings) locked down the final three innings and the Tigers’ final memory of Progressive Field for 2016 will be a 9-5 win.
