Detroit Tigers yield five homers, swept in series and lose 20th straight to Cleveland

There’s hemlock, arsenic and Kryptonite.

Then there’s the Cleveland Indians.

For the Detroit Tigers, no poison is more potent. They proved as much when they lost to their Central Division rivals, 8-5, on Sunday at Comerica Park and extended their franchise-record losing streak to 20 games against Cleveland. They haven't beaten the Indians since April 11, 2019.

The Tigers were swept in the three-game series, lost their fifth straight and dropped to 9-10.

The Indians walloped five home runs, including two by designated hitter Franmil Reyes.

Right-hander Michael Fulmer, who was scheduled to pitch no more than three innings, lasted just 2u2154.
