Losses to Cleveland leave Tigers in a hole (Yahoo Sports)

When the Detroit Tigers won the AL Central every year from 2011-14, the title often seemed to come down to a handful of head-to-head matchups between the champions and their closest challengers. The Tigers consistently won those games during that impressive stretch, but so far this year, the roles are reversed. Detroit's 9-3 loss to Cleveland on Sunday dropped the Tigers to 0-9 against the first-place Indians this season.
