This should be a pretty good series. Detroit has a solid team and is pretty young. They dont have the best pitching so hopefully we can take advantage of that and win at least two of the three.

My unbiased prediction is that Detroit takes two of three in this series. Ledezma or Robertson will be the probable games the Tribe might win.

Tigers - 3

W - Riske (1-0)
L - Urbina (0-1)
S - Wickman (1)

The Indians improve to 2-2 thanks to some late inning runs. They scored 2 in the eighth and gave up one. Boone hit a two run shot to left with Hafner on to go up 4-2 Then Riske had some trouble, walking a few and giving up some hit to load the bases. He struck out Guillen then walked Infante to let a run in. Higginson popped out after that to end the inning. He did pretty well to get out of the jam though. Wickman came in the ninth and got three straight outs to earn the save. Pretty good game all around. Elarton pitched decent going 5.1 innings with 4 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, and 3 Ks.
