2006 AL Game: Cle. @ Det.

 August 4, 2006

      Being back at home didn't help my Detroit Tigers as they dropped a 5-3 contest against the Cleveland Indians. For Detroit it was their 6th loss in a row, their longest losing streak of the season. Once again it was the offense that failed to click. Only Marcus Thames' 3 run homer with 2 out in the bottom of the 9th prevented a Cleveland shutout. Cliff Lee started and got the Win for Cleveland, going 8 scoreless innings. The Tigers will try again tomorrow to stop the streak against the Indians with Kenny Rogers getting the start for Detroit.
