DETROIT, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Zach Plesac pitched impressively into the eighth inning, and Brad Hand worked out of a jam in the ninth to send Cleveland past Detroit 1-0.

James Karinchak struck out Miguel Cabrera with two on to end the eighth. Hand allowed a one-out triple by Daz Cameron but struck out Jorge Bonifacio and Niko Goodrum to end it. It was Hand’s 13th save in 13 chances. The slumping Tigers (21-29) have lost eight of their last 10. The third game of the four game series at Comerica Park takes place Saturday night. Spencer Turnbull is scheduled starter for the Tigers. Cleveland will send Triston McKenzie to the mound.
