CLEVELAND -- Round one of the three-game series between the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers decisively went to the Indians on Friday night. Round two will be Saturday at Progressive Field.The AL Central-leading Indians are trying to go for the knockout punch of the Tigers in this series on Saturday.The Indians have a seven-game lead over second place Detroit in the AL Central with six games remaining against the Tigers.Obviously its a big series, said Corey Kluber, the Indians winning pitcher Friday night. We know the situation. Were ahead of them and they are chasing us. But you try to take it as just another game.The games in this season series have been painfully repetitive for the Tigers. Cleveland leads the season series 12-1 and the Indians have outscored the Tigers by 50 runs in those games: 90-40.Clevelands 12-1 advantage over Detroit includes an 11-4 win Friday night.This one was similar to the first 11 or 12 games. They stuck it to us, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. Weve got to figure out a way to beat them. Theyve kicked our tails.The Indians used a familiar formula in their win Friday: a little speed, a little power, and plenty of pitching. Cleveland stole three bases, got a home run from Mike Napoli, and outstanding starting pitching from Kluber, who pitched seven innings to improve his record to 17-9.Hes tough. He has over 200 strikeouts and a Cy Young Award in his trophy case, Ausmus said.In game two of the series on Saturday the pitching matchup will be Clevelands Carlos Carrasco (11-8, 3.32) against Detroits Justin Verlander (14-8, 3.33).In 18 career appearances vs. the Tigers Carrasco is 6-6 with a 4.95 ERA. However, in three starts against the Tigers this season Carrasco is 2-0 with a 0.51 ERA. In 17 2/3 innings he has allowed one earned run and held Detroit to a .136 (8-for-59) batting average.As for Verlander, the Indians have been a career nemesis for him. In three starts vs. Cleveland this year he is 0-3 with a 9.18 ERA. In 46 career starts vs. the Indians Verlander is 18-21 with a 4.70 ERA. The 21 losses are by far the most Verlander has against any other major league opponent.Detroit is still very much alive in the chase for the two American League wild card spots. But if the Tigers have any hope of catching Cleveland and winning the Central Division, they probably have to win the next two games of this series, and then win three or four of the games against Cleveland in Detroit.Indians manager Terry Francona certainly isnt dismissing the possibility of Detroit running down the Indians for first place in the division over the last two weeks of the season.We set out today to win the game, and we did, Francona said after Fridays win. But you quickly turn the page because they will, too. But it is nice to win the first one.Fake Orioles Jerseys . White came in fourth place in the event. He was the two-time defending gold medallist.
