 The Indians have won 14 straight games against the Tigers, and are 15-1 against their divisional rival this season. Cleveland's 14-game win streak against Detroit is the longest by either side of this matchup all-time, and currently the second-longest active streak by a team against a single opponent, as the Yankees have defeated the Orioles in 16 straight games.

 At 45-104, the Tigers are in danger of posting the worst record in MLB this season. This would be the seventh season in the expansion era (since 1961) in which Detroit had the worst record in the majors; currently Detroit is tied with the Mets (6) for most seasons with the worst record in MLB over that time.

 Cleveland trails Tampa Bay by a game and a half for the Second AL Wild Card spot. Based on current records, Cleveland has the sixth-easiest remaining schedule in the majors (.450), while Tampa Bay has the eighth-most difficult remaining schedule (.535).

 Detroit is the only team in MLB without a player with 20+ home runs, as Brandon Dixon leads the team with 15. Miguel Cabrera leads the team with 55 RBI this season, the fewest by any team leader in MLB.

 Roberto Perez hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth inning of Cleveland's 7-5 win over Minnesota on Sunday. Of Perez's 23 home runs this season, 14 have come in the sixth inning or later.

 Carlos Santana has drawn 939 walks in his career, the 11th most all-time within a player's first 10 seasons in the majors. The only switch-hitter with more walks through 10 MLB seasons is Mickey Mantle (1003).

HP - Hallion, 1B - Cuzzi, 2B - Hamari, 3B - May

The Detroit Tigers have one more chance this year to end their long losing streak to the Cleveland Indians.
The Indians have won 16 straight against their American League Central rival, including a 2-1, 10-inning victory on Wednesday. They'll play the finale of a three-game series in Cleveland on Thursday, which will also be the last meeting between the clubs this season.
