Cleveland — You had to know the minute Wilson Ramos was signed to a minor-league deal by the Indians, he would soon be crossing paths with the Tigers.

Toledo, Ohio – The Mud Hens fell victim to another Sounds route tonight, losing by a score of 11-1.

Cleveland — OK, now you can call him a starter. Tigers manager AJ Hinch has had a running bit with lefty Tyler Alexander ever since he put him into the starting rotation. Until he went five full innings, he wouldn’t call him a starter. “He’s an opener,” Hinch said, chuckling. “I refuse to call him a
CLEVELAND — A leadoff hitter barely beating a throw for an infield single. A line-drive single after a fouled-off bunt attempt as the starter begins his third trip through the order. A slow roller down the third-base line off a 92 mph slider. It’s the kind of bases-loaded jam that usually seems destined to doom
After a “too little, too late” comeback attempt on Friday night, the Tigers and the Future-Guardians started the second game of their three-game series about an hour late due to some rain passing through the area.
