detroit tigers game notes -...

YESTERDAY’S ACTION: The Tigers defeated the

Cleveland Indians, 7-1, at Comerica Park. Starter

Daniel Norris (W, 2-2) threw 6.0 strong innings,

allowing one earned run on fi ve hits with four walks

and a season- high eight strikeouts. Detroit took a 2-0

lead in the 1st inning on back-to-back RBI doubles by

Nicholas Castellanos and Victor Mar� nez. In the 2nd,

Tyler Collins crushed a three-run homer to right-center

fi eld to give the Tigers a 5-0 lead. Alex Avila added a

two-run single in the 5th and the Tigers bullpen closed

the door with three scoreless innings in relief.

TIGERS TRANSACTIONS: Prior to today’s game, Detroit

reinstated 1B Miguel Cabrera (right groin strain) from

the 10-day disabled list and op� oned C/1B John Hicks

to triple-A Toledo. Cabrera, a .320 career hi! er in 15

Major League seasons, was ba" ng .268 (15x56) with

a .369 OBP, two doubles, three home runs and nine

RBI in 16 games at the � me of his injury. Hicks fi lled in

admirably in Miggy’s absence by pos� ng a .423 (11x26)

average with three doubles, one home run and seven

RBI in seven games for the Tigers.

POCKET ACES: Jus� n Verlander will do ba! le with his

fellow ace, Corey Kluber, tonight at Comerica Park. It

marks the second matchup this year of the two talented

righthanders. Their last mee� ng didn’t go quite as

planned, however. On April 15th at Progressive Field,

Verlander and Kluber combined to allow 15 earned

runs, the most by opposing former Cy Young winners

in a game in Major League history (source: Elias Sports

Bureau). Verlander hasn’t won a start since Opening

Day in Chicago (4/4), but he also hasn’t received much

run support since then. Over his last four starts (since

4/10), Detroit has scored only nine runs combined

while Jus� n is in the game, including two starts when

the Tigers scored only one run of support.

BULLPEN BOUNCE BACK: Detroit relievers have not

allowed a run in their last two games (both Tigers

wins). They’ve given up just three hits and one walk

over 7.0 scoreless innings during that stretch (.125

opp. AVG) with 10 strikeouts (12.86 SO/9.0IP). The

Tigers pen allowed at least one earned run in each of

their previous 11 games (6.95 ERA, 33.2IP/26ER from

4/18-29).

CENTRAL PERK: Currently at 9-6 (.600), the Tigers have

the best intra-division winning percentage among all

teams in the American League Central. The White Sox

are a close second at 12-9 (.571), while the Indians are

7-6 (.538) and the Twins are an even 10-10 (.500). The

Royals, who the Tigers have yet to play, have really

struggled against the AL Central this year, going 1-8

(.111) versus their division foes.

SIX RUNS FOR THE SIXTH CITY: The Tigers have gone

3-1 (.750) over their fi rst four games against the

Indians this year, pu" ng them one win shy of their

en� re win total vs. Cleveland from the 2016 season.

Last year, Detroit went 4-14 (.222) against the Indians,

which was their third-worst winning percentage ever

vs. Cleveland (0-12 in 1996, 2-8 in 1994). The Tigers

have posted double-digit hit totals in three of their

four games against the Indians this season and are

averaging 6.00 runs per game (24R/4G).

ON THIS DATE IN TIGERS HISTORY: 1901 - A# er the

Tigers scored fi ve runs in the top of the 9th inning at

Chicago’s South Side Park, the White Sox slowed down

the pace of the game in hopes the contest would be

rained out. Umpire Tom Connolly was not impressed

and forfeited the game, the fi rst in American league

history, giving Detroit a 7-5 victory.

10-day DL on April 23); OF J.D. Mar! nez (right midfoot
