I will be talking about anything that interests me in professional and college sports. baseball, football, basketball, hockey...whatever. I love the Carolina Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, NC State Wolfpack, Cleveland Indians and Charlotte Bobcats. But that doesn't mean I won't discuss other teams. I like to keep it positive (for the most part) and always keep it clean.

Indians and Tigers get together for 2 in Cleveland.
The Indians and Tigers face off tomorrow at Progressive Field. The Tribe is 26-17 and in first place in the AL Central. The Tigers are 23-19 and 2 games behind the division leading Indians. Man it felt good saying that! The Tribe is 8-2 over their last 10 games, winning 5 in a row. They are fresh off of a 4 game sweep of the Seattle Mariners. The Tigers are 4-6 over their last 10 and on a 2 game losing streak. They lost their last game 11-8 to the Rangers, with Miguel Cabrera hitting 3 home runs in the game. Tuesday's game is slated for a 7:05 start at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario. The pitching duel will be a re-match of the first game the 2 teams played against each other this season. The Tigers will send Max Scherzer (3.98 ERA) and his perfect 5-0 record out to face the Cleveland batters. Scherzer's last game against the Tribe in Detroit was the only win for Detroit in the 3 game series. He went 8 innings giving up 4 runs on 5 hits, striking out 2 back on May 10th. The Tigers won the game 10-4. His last game was a May 15th home game against the Houston Astros. He pitched 7 innings and gave up 5 runs on 5 hits, walking 3 and stiking out 7 in a 7-5 Tigers loss. Al Alburquerque (0-1) took the loss. The Indians will start Corey Kluber (3-2 5.40 ERA) who last pitched against Detroit on may 10th. He lasted 4 and 2/3 innings giving up 8 runs on 11 hits, walking 2 and striking out 4. Kluber got the loss for the Tribe. His last game was in Philadelphia on may 15th. Coery got a win from his 6 inning effort, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits and striking out 5. The Indians won 10-4.
