Cleveland — Tigers closer Shane Greene likes to say, “Sometimes balls are caught on the warning track and sometimes they go over the fence.”

What Matthew Boyd wouldn’t give to see a few balls caught on the warning track.

The home run ball beat him again Thursday night. He gave up a two-run blast to Jordan Luplow in the first inning and a two-run, tie-breaking shot to Jose Ramirez in the sixth — both with two outs — and the Indians completed the four-game sweep of the Tigers, 6-3.
