The Cleveland Indians finally broke a losing skid of six games on Saturday against the Texas Rangers, but dropped the finale of their series 8-3 on Sunday, and are hoping to get back into the win column. Sure, they're 16 games back of the AL Central division lead and are virtually eliminated from playoff contention, but they've been giving the Detroit Tigers problems lately and there's no reason that can't continue.
A three-game set gets started on Monday in Detroit, and Corey Kluber will take the mound for the Tribe. He's 0-3 on the season with a less-than stellar 5.16 earned-run average. He'll be up against Anibal Sanchez of the Tigers, who has a 7-11 record with a slightly-better but still unremarkable 4.24 ERA. Both pitchers lost in their last outings despite it being an OK showing.
Below, we've got full lineups for both teams. The game is set for 1:05 p.m. eastern on Monday.
