Cleveland Indians: Tribe Wraps Up Doubleheader Sweep

9 - 29 - 10     vs. Detroit     W, 4 - 3     68 - 91

     The Indians completed the home portion of their schedule with a victory as they erased an early 3 - 0 lead against Justin Verlander, who is one of the best pitchers in baseball.
     Verlander's mound opponent, Josh Tomlin, was less than superb, but his five innings of work merited a win on this night.
     The Tribe's comeback was sparked by a passed ball that allowed a run to score in the 4th, and after a Michael Brantley RBI triple in the 5th, Trevor Crowe plated Brantley with a perfectly executed, suicide squeeze bunt.
     In what was their final game at Progressive Field until next season, Cleveland ran their winning streak to six.
