Cleveland, Ohio – After taking two out of three from the Pittsburgh Pirates and getting their twentieth win on Sunday afternoon (4-3) the Tigers went to face the Indians on Monday night. Alex Avila was the only Tiger that was hungry on Monday night. After the Indians took a 1-0 lead, Alex quickly erased the Indian lead and gave the Tigers a 3-1 lead. But, in the end the Tigers succumbed to the Indians with the final score being 5-3. The Tigers don’t resemble the team that was playing a year ago and winning division championships, because they have no good pitchers outside of Justin Verlander. They now find themselves four behind the Indians. They cannot rely on Justin Verlander every fifth day. Last night’s starting pitcher Rick Porcello now has a record of three wins and four losses. The Tigers look to even the series at 1-1 in Cleveland. Thursday afternoon the Tigers will send out their last year Cy Young award winner Justin Verlander to pitch against the Indians.
