On the bright side, 2 singles by our outfielders.

no game today, so why didn't they postpone yesterday's? reaching over 40 and sunny in Detroit

No snow expected today. I am puzzled at Tito's choices of leadoff hitters; don't you want someone who gets on base a lot? Usually speedy but that's less important. we're going with whichever AAA hitter is out there each day. I;ll be happier when that's Rosario. a little.

old friend Willi Castro with a 1st inning triple, Gamel's dive came close but I don't think he's at fault for this one. That led to 2 runs. Eddie Rosario homer splits the margin to one run.

a bit of a rally in the 3rd with Perez and Gimenez singles but then gentle ben ends it with a well timed GIDP.

Perez charged with an error on catcher's interference. I'm not sure if he committed any last season? I know he had no passed balls.

Good test for the Indians' offense today; Detroit starter Julio Teheran last summer was 0-4 with a 10.05 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. 12 homers in 31 1/3 innings.

Reyes matches Gamel with a DP to go along with a strike out. Teheran may just be too tough for these guys.

Naylor's double could have scored a run if Reyes had just struck out again. But here's the man at the plate we all want with an RISP. Formerly rated about No. 50 prospect in the entire baseball universe. Mr. Bauers.

Surpise! He hit the ball hard, but to the RF.

0-9 with RISP in the very early returns.

last Teheran start allowing fewer than only 1 run was 9-7-19

gamel's up again; once a game is really enough

Play by play. You go civ!

And even gave Gamel the kiss of life.

Cesar Hernandez tagged that lineout for the 3rd out.

And both those earlier double play balls were tagged - no luck so far. Especially the one Franmil hit was tagged and RIGHT at the 3B.

Thanks a lot Wittgren

another rbi for Rosario on a sac fly along with 2 walks and his homer.
