Cleveland – Well, that had to feel pretty good.
Tigers catcher Eric Haase spent nine years grinding in the Indians’ minor league system, getting the briefest of opportunities, 19 games over two seasons, with the big club.
He gave them a glimpse of what they missed out on Wednesday, as the Tigers completed an extremely rare doubleheader sweep at Progressive Field with a 7-1 win in the nightcap.
How rare? It was their first doubleheader sweep of the Indians since Aug. 7, 1986 and their first sweep in Cleveland since Sept. 14, 1977.
