Cleveland — A week ago, the Tigers left Chicago after sweeping the White Sox, riding the wave of a five-game winning streak.
Seems like a long time ago.
The Tigers lost their fourth straight game on Saturday, shackled by the dominance of right-hander Trevor Bauer and beaten by the Indians, 4-1, at Progressive Field. It was Detroit's sixth straight loss in Cleveland this year and eighth straight loss in the state of Ohio.
"You look at Cincinnati (who beat the Tigers on Tuesday and Wednesday), they're hot and playing good baseball right now," manager Ron Gardenhire said.
