Indians Struggle as Offense Stalls in Loss to Tigers
Cleveland's lineup continued a recent funk as the Indians managed just 24 runs in nine games while collecting 10 hits against Detroit. Mark Redman tossed his first Tigers win and a complete game, holding the Indians to no runs through six by exploiting Nagy's shaky fourth. Nagy blamed his own execution as Cleveland left runners on early and grounded into two double plays, extending a season-long road of frustration for a franchise in decline.
