 Cleveland has won its last 17 games against Detroit and in so doing narrowed the Indians' deficit in their all-time series against the Tigers to 10 wins (1125 to 1115).  Cleveland hadn't been within 10 wins of Detroit in their head-to-head series since 1968, and hasn't led the series at any point since 1966.

 The Indians have a .195 batting average, which not only ranks last in the majors—by a margin of 19 points—but it's also the lowest mark in team history through 19 games of a season.

 Aaron Civale has a 2.47 ERA in 13 major-league starts (2019--20).  Among pitchers who have started at least 10 games over the last two seasons, only three have a lower ERA than Civale: Rich Hill (2.26, 14 GS), Frankie Montas (2.42, 20 GS), and Jacob deGrom (2.43, 36 GS).

 Among 59 pitchers who started at least 30 games last season, Ivan Nova's average of 5.49 strikeouts per nine innings ranked next-to-last.  Only Brett Anderson had a lower mark (4.60).

 Carlos Santana, who leads the majors with 24 walks, is the only Indians player to finish a season as the MLB leader in that category during the live-ball era (113 BB in 2014). Oddly, Cleveland players led the majors in the last three years of the dead-ball era: Jack Graney in 1917 and 1919, Ray Chapman in 1918.

 Willi Castro went 3-for-4 with a home run on Wednesday, one day after being recalled from Detroit's alternate site.  Only three other Tigers third basemen had at least three hits, including a homer, in their season debut: Ray Boone (1954), Dean Palmer (2000), and Carlos Guillen (2008).

HP - Reyburn, 1B - Timmons, 2B - Blakney, 3B - Diaz

The Cleveland Indians can finish off their latest series sweep against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.
They extended their winning streak against the Tigers to 19 games on Saturday with a 3-1 victory at Detroit's Comerica Park. It's the longest winning streak against any opponent in Indians franchise history. It's also the longest losing streak in Tigers' history to a single opponent.

Tigers try to halt skid against Indians at 19

DETROIT (AP)  The Cleveland Indians beat Detroit for the 20th straight time, nearing the major league record for most wins by a team over a single opponent, as Franmil Reyes hit two home runs to defeat the Tigers 8-5 Sunday.
Baltimore holds the mark with 23 consecutive wins over Kansas City in 1969-70. The Indians can match the record when they host Detroit in a three-game series next weekend.
