DETROIT — J.D. Martinez believes a big weekend for the Detroit Tigers would provide some payback for what the Cleveland Indians did to them last season.
The Tigers missed the playoffs in large part because of a 4-14 record against their American League Central rival. Detroit currently finds itself desperately trying to get back in the division race and it can make up two games in one day on Saturday.
The Tigers and Indians play a day-night doubleheader at Comerica Park. The second game is a makeup of a May 4 postponement.
The series this weekend was reduced to three games by a postponement on Friday.
