The Indians won 14 straight, with a sweep in Detroit as part of that, but have since lost their last two and now return home. Detroit has beaten their last 10 opponents not named the Cleveland Indians. If the Tigers are going to make a push for the AL Central, this is an important series for them. The issue is they have Norris on the mound, who hasn’t seen much action and is making a big start against a stud in Salazar, who has a 2.22 ERA. He will be solid today, knowing that Cleveland needs this bounce back win to really hit the Tigers where it hurts.
