CLEVELAND — Last weekend, the Cleveland Indians won two of three games in Detroit against the Tigers. On Friday night, the American League Central rivals will meet again, this time at Progressive Field.
Detroit holds a 5-4 lead in the season series.
The Tigers come into the weekend having won six of their past 10 games, including two of three from the San Francisco Giants in Detroit, the last of those a 6-2 victory on Thursday. The Tigers hope to use that win as a momentum-builder going into the last series before the All-Star break.
“Winning this series is a good start,” Detroit catcher James McCann said.
