Daniel Norris outpitched Trevor Bauer for the third time in as many meetings since September, helped by a Tyler Collins three-run home run, as Detroit cruised to a 7-1 win Monday night at Comerica Park.

It was the third Tigers win in four meetings between the Midwestern neighbors and American League Central competitors. The Indians took 14 of 18 meetings last season on their way to the division title and eventual AL pennant.
