The Detroit Tigers lost their 10th straight game to the Cleveland Indians last night, 5-3. Daniel Norris started for Detroit. He worked his way out of a jam in the second inning, allowing just one run, but strained an oblique muscle while trying to field a ground ball. He left the game after walking the first batter in the third inning. Dustin Molleken made his major league debut, allowing that runner to score. Molleken was charged with another run in the fifth. Detroit came back with a Steven Moya solo home run in the fifth inning. A two-run blast by Nick Castellanos in the sixth tied it. Mike Napoli’s two-run shot off Bruce Rondon in the seventh was the game-winner.
