Kyle Ryan (1-1, 3.26 ERA) toes the rubber for Detroit while Cleveland counters with Trevor Bauer, and he is 6-3 with a 3.22 ERA thus far this season.

The Indians counter with a lineup that is bolstered by second baseman Jason Kipnis and outfielder Michael Brantley.
Kipnis paces the AL with 92 hits and is second in the league in batting average (.345), doubles (21, tied) and on-base percentage (.423). Brantley is knotted with Kipnis with 21 doubles and is hitting .295 with four homers and 35 RBI.
In the AL Central standings, Detroit enters in third place and is 5.5 games behind division-leading Kansas City while Cleveland is in fourth and eight games behind the Royals.
