Cleveland Indians avoid disaster with 2-1 win over Tigers
The Cleveland Indians made it interesting against the Detroit Tigers but were led to a 2-1 win by two heroes on the night.
Yasiel Puig walked it off for the Cleveland Indians on a night when a loss would have been devastating.
His game-winner will be the play remembered from this one. But the pitching of Aaron Civale is what kept the Indians in a position to win the game and keep pace with the Tampa Bay Rays in the Wild Card race.
Civale went 7.2 innings of one-run baseball to lower his ERA to 1.82 on the season. He has been a godsend for this rotation, allowing no more than two earned runs in any of his nine starts.
