Videolicious

Cleveland's domination of Tigers may best typify Detroit's 2016 season -- and its ultimate undoing

Roberto Perez hit a home run Monday night at Comerica Park. Knocked in a run in the eighth inning, too.

If you’re looking for a reason to explain the cosmic imbalance in the record books between the Cleveland Indians and the Detroit Tigers this season, take a good look at Perez.

Backup catcher for the Indians. Hitting a .168 before Monday.

A buck-sixty-eight?

Yeah, .168.

Done in by the hitter in the nine-hole.
