Indians’ offense piles on in 9-4 win to complete second 2016 sweep of Tigers

It would appear the Detroit Tigers’ reign over the Indians has come to an end.

The Indians topped the Tigers again Thursday night, this time by a score of 9-4. For the Indians against the Tigers, it completed the second sweep this season, was the sixth straight win and the 11th win out of the last 13 games dating back to last season. It’s the longest in-season streak since 2008.

A night after Indians starter Corey Kluber threw a complete-game shutout, the Indians turned to the bats on Thursday, rocking Tigers starter Michael Fulmer for four runs in the first inning that proved to be all the offense the Indians would need.
