DETROIT – The Cleveland Indians keep losing ground to the Detroit Tigers, who would like to continue that trend when the American League Central rivals continue their three-game series Saturday at Comerica Park.
The Tigers have won three of their last four to begin to create some breathing room atop the division, and they claimed the series opener 7-5 on Friday.
