Bauer Blasted as Tigers Pound Indians 7-1; Three Takeaways From the Loss

3. A Slow Start Against the Tigers

While no one seems too concerned about the Indians eventually winning the AL Central, if the first four games against the Tigers are any indication, they are not going to go quietly.

In the four games thus far they have outscored the Tribe 24-21, but in one of those games, the only Indians win, they scored 13 of those 21 runs.

In the three losses, the Tribe has been outscored 18-8. Detroit is still a team that can inflict damage, and they did it Monday without their best hitter, as Miguel Cabrera is on the disabled list, but could be back as early as Tuesday.

There are plenty of games against the Tigers back and plenty of time for the Indians to eventually win the season series, but so far the series against the Tigers has been downright ugly.
