The Indians proved conclusively that their young pitcher was better than the Tigers’.
Trevor Bauer, who seems to be trying to portray an aura of intense calm but performs like a nervous wreck, was able to get his act together Thursday night and throttle the once-mighty Detroit Tigers. Indians 9, Tigers 4.
It completed the Indians second sweep of Detroit this season, a radical departure from their record against the Tigers in recent seasons.
Also troubling for the Tigers was the struggle of rookie pitcher Michael Fulmer, a middling prospect who nonetheless is the top dog on the Detroit Farm, to which he might return soon.
