MLB: Cleveland Indians at Detroit Tigers — Mikie Mahtook leaps into the outfield wall as a ball hit by Jose Ramirez goes over for a home run in the first inning

The Detroit Tigers are not having a good Labor Day weekend so far. They lost the fourth and final game of the series against the Cleveland Indians by a score of 11-1, Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park.

By now we’re all just happy that the Indians are leaving town after sweeping the series. Too bad the Tigers play them again next week :( .

Quick hits:

Chad Bell started for Detroit. He got through four innings but couldn’t record an out in the fifth. He loaded the bases before being pulled for Zach Reininger.
Bell’s final line was four-plus innings, eight hits, five runs, two walks and one strikeout on 85 pitches (50 strikes).
The Tigers scored their only run in the second inning, thanks to consecutive singles from Jeimer Candelario, James McCann, and Jose Iglesias.
Cleveland scored in every inning but the fourth and seventh.
Daniel Norris made his first MLB appearance since July 16. Norris surrendered two extra-base hits and two walks without recording an out.
Cleveland has now won 11 games in a row.
The Indians players keep making “figurines” — for lack of a better word — using baseballs and Gatorade cups in the dugout. Here are some examples:
