The Cleveland Indians gave fans a chance to breathe easy as they took it to the Milwaukee Brewers for two games this week. Now that the shortest homestand ever (two games; really MLB?) is over, the Indians hit the road to take on their resilient division foe.
The Detroit Tigers have vastly outplayed expectations. Not because of their record, but because they sit only four games back of the Indians. A lot of that can be attributed to the Indians not taking off as expected. This is nothing new for the Tribe. At this time last year, the Indians were only 29-28 and a game behind Minnesota.
