UNDATED (WHTC-AM/FM) – Yesterday, Jay Bruce’s three-run homer in the first inning sparked Cleveland to a 5-3 victory over the visiting Tigers for the Indians’ 21st straight victory. Meanwhile, a RBI sacrifice fly by Jose Abreu, followed by a run-scoring single by Avisail Garcia, snapped a 3-3 tie in the ninth inning as the White Sox beat the Royals in Kansas City, 5-3. These teams now swap opponents to open weekend series, with Detroit hosting Chicago at Comerica Park this afternoon in a game you can hear at 12:45 PM with Dan Dickerson and Jim Price on 1450 WHTC and the new 99.7 FM, while the Tribe welcome KC to Progressive FIeld this evening in an attempt to set a record 22nd consecutive triumph.
Albert Almora Jr. came off of the bench to homer and drive in six runs as the Cubs romped past the visiting Mets last night, 17-5. Chicago looks to complete a three-game series sweep of New York this evening at Wrigley Field.
