DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers may have made strides this season, but they still can’t overcome one curse of 2019: Their inability to beat the Cleveland Indians.
The Indians beat the Tigers 8-5 on Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park to complete a three-game series sweep. Cleveland has now beaten the Indians in 20 consecutive games dating to last April.
The Tigers (9-10) have lost five in a row. They will play the Indians (13-9) again in Cleveland in just five days.
The MLB record for the longest winning streak over one team is 23 games, set by the Baltimore Orioles over the Kansas City Royals in 1969-1970. The Indians will have a chance to tie that mark next weekend.
Tigers starter Michael Fulmer failed to escape the third, giving up three runs on five hits, including two home runs. Reliever John Schreiber coughed up three runs in the sixth, the first time he’s a allowed a run to cross the plate all season.
Indians designated hitter Franmil Reyes had two home runs, including a 453-foot shot that hit above the second level of shrubbery in center field.
Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire was ejected in the third inning for arguing the umpires’ decision to call a ground-rule double third inning. Pinch-hitter Cameron Maybin was ejected in the fifth for arguing balls and strikes.
Shortstop Niko Goodrum left the game in the fourth inning with upper back tightness.
GAME REWIND
Bottom 9th: JaCoby Jones doubled and scored and the Tigers brought the tying run to the plate, but failed to mount a comeback. Final: Indians 8, Tigers 5.
Top 9th: Indians slugger Franmil Reyes left the game after being hit on the wrist by a Joe Jimenez fastball. It appeared that Indians manager Terry Francona requested that umpires issue a warning to Jimenez, but umpires took no action after a brief conference. The rest of the inning was uneventful. Indians 8, Tigers 4.
Bottom 8th: Indians reliever James Karinchak retired the side in order, striking out Willi Castro and Grayson Greiner. Indians 8, Tigers 4.
Top 8th: A 1-2-3 inning for Beau Burrows, who easily retires the top of the Tribe’s order. Indians 8, Tigers 4.
Bottom 7th: Harold Castro draws a one-out walk, reaching for the fourth time in four plate appearances, but the Tigers can’t bring him home. Indians 8, Tigers 4.
Top 7th: Franmil Reyes led off the inning with a 453-foot blast to center off Tigers reliever Carson Fulmer. It’s the second time this series he has homered to the ivy above the two levels of shrubbery in center. Indians 8, Tigers 4.
Bottom 6th: A 1-2-3 inning for Indians reliever Cam Hill, who struck out Willi Castro to start the frame. Indians 7, Tigers 4.
Top 6th: The Indians roared back with three against Tigers reliever John Schreiber, the first runs he’s surrendered all season. Sandy Leon homered and Cesar Hernandez doubled. Gregory Soto allowed the final run to score on a double by Francisco Lindor. Indians 7, Tigers 4.
Bottom 5th: The Tigers had three hits and a walk before the first out was recorded, but managed only one run. Miguel Cabrera was thrown out at home plate as he tried to score from second on a single by Jeimer Candelario. Then pinch-hitter Cameron Maybin grounded into a double play to end the inning. Maybin was ejected between innings, although it wasn’t clear why. Tigers 4, Indians 4.
Top 5th: Jose Ramirez barely checked his swing on a two-strike pitch from Tyler Alexander, then launched his fifth homer of the season. Alexander allowed two more singles, but fought out of further trouble. Indians 4, Tigers 3.
Bottom 4th: Indians reliever struck out Willi Castro and Niko Goodrum in a scoreless inning. Goodrum left the game after the at-bat with upper back tightness. Tigers 3, Indians 3.

Bottom 3rd: The Tigers tie things up with a barrage of hard-hit balls: A double by Grayson Greiner, an RBI single by Niko Goodrum, a double by Harold Castro and finally a two-run single by Miguel Cabrera, who had been in a 1-for-19 skid. The Tigers very nearly tied it up on what appeared to be an RBI triple by Jeimer Candelario, but the play was ruled a ground-rule double by umpires after the ball appeared to get lodged in the space between the wall’s padding and the dirt. Cabrera was returned to third base, where he was stranded by reliever Phil Maton. Tigers 3, Indians 3.
