Rain: The game was delayed by rain after five innings with the Tigers leading, 2-0.

LeBron James is averaging a triple-double in Cleveland's four postseason wins without Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving.

OAKLAND, Calif. - A week ago the Cavaliers were preparing for a Sunday game in the Bay Area against the Warriors having lost on a Thursday, trying to determine how they might avoid being exposed by their roster deficiencies.

The glimmer of hope, at least outside the Cavs' locker room, heading into Game 2 of the Finals last Sunday was that, oddly enough, Cleveland's numbers were pretty good in the limited minutes in which LeBron James was on the court without Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love.

Cleveland finds itself in a similar situation in these last few hours prior to Game 5, having lost on Thursday and trying to make up for the wounds opened by the Warriors' small-ball strategy that exposed the Cavs in Game 4.

Something else happened in Cleveland's 103-82 loss to the Warriors Thursday that hadn't previously in the Cavs' four full postseason games with James but not Love or Irving: James didn't score at least 30 points, and that's something they'll need to either correct or figure how to cover for tonight.

"It's almost funny when you say a guy had a 20-point game it's not up to par," Cavs coach David Blatt said Saturday before practice. "That's kind of funny. But realistically we know that LeBron's production is critical to us, and for the most part he's given that and more, much more."

James is trying to become the first player in NBA history to average 35 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in the Finals.

Heading into Game 4, James was averaging 41 points on about 36 shots per game in this series. So the 20 points on 22 shots he turned in were noticeably low, brushing aside the 12 points and eight assists he contributed Thursday night.

The Cavs have now played five full games with James on the court sand Love and Irving, who are both out for the series with injuries. In the first four - all wins - James averaged 36.5 points, 13.75 rebounds, 10.75 assists, and 32 shots.

His lowest point total in that stretch - in Game 2 of the Eastern Finals against Atlanta - he scored 30 on 22 shots. The Cavs received at least nine points apiece from five other players that night, and limited the Hawks to 82 points.

Against the Warriors in Game 4 Timofey Mozgov scored a career high 28, Tristan Thompson added 17 and Matthew Dellavedova 10, but Cleveland struggled to shoot collectively and obviously struggled to contain the Warriors' smaller lineup.

But James can sometimes cover up those warts. Last time, he didn't.

"I'm in a spot where I have to be very productive, and that's just the spot I've always been in," James said. "For me, from the perception, it's a lose-lose when it comes to, okay, well, in the first three games I score 40, but I shoot a lot of shots. Last game I scored 20, I don't shoot as many shots, and we lose. So it's like what do you want?

"All I care about is how I can produce for our team."

The apparent need for tremendous production from James is checked by his averaging 46 minutes per game in the Finals. In other words, how much more can the Cavs expect from him, given the sky high minutes he's playing, mostly under duress?

In the first quarter tonight, James will pass Michael Jordan (7,474 minutes) for 10^th in league history in playoff minutes. He said getting the second day off between games 4 and 5 was "like a lifeline."

Blatt, who only played seven players until the game got out of hand with about three minutes left Thursday, said he would use more of his bench "if that's necessary."

Fatigue is almost always an issue at this point in the season. Both teams have already played 100 games.

Andre Iguodala, who has looked fresh more much of the Finals and primarily guarded James Thursday, said he was "almost dead in the water" early in the playoffs, to the point where he took "medicine" to help him through the last two series.

Iguodala said the biggest challenge when defending James is mental. It's about blocking out short bursts of frustration when he gets his points.

"(It's) understanding it's going to be a long game," Iguodala said. "Not to overreact to certain things. I think that is key. If I was guarding another guy and he made a couple baskets, you might overreact like you might need to switch something up.

"But we have a scheme in place, and in order for the scheme to work, the overall picture is 48 minutes. So one or two minutes may not work, but in the grand scheme of things, you're trying to break them down, you're trying to force your will up on them, and it's going to take the whole game."

The Warriors evened the series at 2-2 on Thursday following a 103-82 blowout win. Andre Iguodala, who made a surprise start, his first of the season, scored 22 as the Warriors used a small-ball lineup. Stephen Curry also added 22 points while Draymond Green delivered a Finals-high 17 points.

For the Cavs, Timofey Mozgov scored a playoff-high 28 points on 9-of-16 shooting. He also added 10 rebounds. LeBron James poured in 20 points but was 7-of-22 shooting in 41 minutes.

The Warriors small, but quick lineup held the Cavs to 33 percent from the field and 82 points, the Cavaliers' lowest this postseason.

Sunday's game marks the third at Oracle Arena in this series, with the Cavs winning the most recent matchup in overtime, 95-93, last Sunday.

Nick Swisher is scheduled to get a second injection in his left knee this week in Cleveland. It will be his second in as many weeks.

DETOIT - The Indians placed Nick Swisher on the disabled list Sunday to make room for rookie shortstop Francisco Lindor.

Swisher started the year on the disabled list and wasn't activated until May 5. On Aug. 20, he underwent surgery on both knees and his return has taken longer than anticipated.

"It's been much more difficult that I expected," said Swisher on Friday before the Indians opened a three-game series with the Tigers at Comerica Park.

Manager Terry Francona said Swisher's left knee has proven to be the most troublesome and prompted the Indians to place him on the DL on Sunday.

Francona said Swisher received an injection in the left knee last week in Cleveland. Swisher missed the next two games to let his knee respond and then played Friday night against the Tigers.

"We gave him the two days off in hopes that it would kind of give him a jump start," said Francona. "He had been pretty much relegated to DHing. Then he played Friday and I don't think he was pleased with how he was moving."

That prompted a series of conversations between Swisher and Francona on Saturday that led to him being placed on the DL on Sunday.

Swisher is in the third year of a four-year $56 million contract. He's hitting .198 (20-for-101) with four doubles, two homers and eight RBI in 30 games.

Francona said Swisher will receive another injection in the knee this week in Cleveland.

The cornerback enrolled early as a freshman in the winter, was declared medically unable to play by Ohio State, and now spoke to Florida Today about his exit from Columbus and arrival at Auburn.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former Ohio State defensive back Jamel Dean, speaking publicly for the first time since leaving Ohio State's program, told Florida Today, "I'm going to have a lot of anger built up," if he ever winds up facing Ohio State on the football field.

* Read the full story on Dean from Florida Today

Dean transferred to Auburn, and his comments are the final part of his controversial exit from Ohio State's program, which began when Dean's high school coach told the Northeast Ohio Media Group in April that he felt Dean was pushed off the team.

Ohio State sources strongly disputed that idea, saying Dean had been declared unable to play because of a knee injury at his initial physical when reporting early to Ohio State for the winter semester.

The Buckeyes, from what had been announced, appeared to be in a numbers crunch for scholarships, but Ohio State said it had approached National Signing Day in February knowing that Dean would be out and adjusted accordingly. They were adamant that Dean's situation had nothing to do with numbers, and that coaches liked the 6-foot-2 cornerback as a prospect.

But John Wilkinson, Dean's coach, was clearly upset months later.

"It's totally wrong to do this to an 18-year-old kid who should be in high school, who you talked into coming up there early," Wilkinson told NEOMG in April. "You can't treat people this way."

After speaking with Wilkinson after the story was published, Ohio State felt the matter had been worked out. Dean had sought a second medical opinion, worked with outside expert Dr. James Andrews, and said he he been cleared. Multiple other schools allowed him to play. But Ohio State said if its doctors would not clear Dean, the issue was over. He could not be a Buckeye, with the school expressing concerns about the long-term health of his knee.

Ohio State offered him the chance to stay in school with his scholarship as a medical hardship, which would not count against the Buckeyes' 85-scholarship limit. But Dean wanted to play and found other schools and doctors that said he could.

Dean told Florida Today he must sit out this season under transfer rules.

While there is a difference in medical opinion here, one fact can't be disputed: Dean and those around still aren't happy with what happened at Ohio State.

"Once Auburn said they were going to let me play, I was ready to leave," Dean told Florida Today.

Francona's message read: "Come on, Frankie. Get up here. Congrats."

DETROIT -- It didn't take long for Francisco Lindor to commit his first error with the Indians.

As he turned a corner and walked into the Tribe clubhouse on he accidentally knocked the door stop out of the way. As the door started to close, reliever Scott Atchison -- who has 18 years on Lindor -- shook his head and teased the rookie.

Lindor arrived at Comerica Park about two-and-a-half hours prior to Sunday's first pitch between the Indians and the Tigers. He flew in from Columbus, where he learned on Saturday night that he had been promoted to the big league roster.

Tribe manager Terry Francona wanted Triple-A skipper Chris Tremie to deliver the news to Lindor, the club's top-ranked prospect. He sent Lindor a text, which he figured the shortstop would read once he was pulled from the Clippers' game against Syracuse. However, Columbus was in a rain delay and Lindor was in the clubhouse, so he read the text right away.

Francona's message read: "Come on, Frankie. Get up here. Congrats."

"I was like, 'Wait, what?'" Lindor said. "I didn't know. Tremie didn't tell me."

Lindor stepped outside to look for his family. His mother, two sisters, two nieces, nephew, aunt and girlfriend were visiting. Instead, he ran into his manager in the dugout.

"He looked at me and was like, 'Why are you smiling?'" Lindor said. "And from there, he knew I knew, so he tried to play it off. Then he's like, 'You know, don't you?' I was like, 'Yeah,' and he was like, 'How'd you find out?' I told him how. I'm blessed. Happy. Super excited."

Lindor's relatives will join the club in Chicago on Monday.

"They cried. They laughed. They screamed," Lindor said. I was like, 'Try to keep it down. Not too many people know.' It was a great moment."

Lindor was thrilled to hear the news from Francona.

"It showed me that he's excited. And I'm excited, too," Lindor said. "I couldn't be any happier. I just couldn't wait to be here and join the team."

He waited through 57 games at Triple-A. There, he logged a .279/.346/.398 slash line, with two home runs, 22 RBIs and eight stolen bases. In 12 games in June, he posted a .404/.431/.596 slash line. He was named International League Player of the Week last week.

"I just tried to do what I've been trying to do since Day 1 -- be more consistent," Lindor said. "Finally, it started to pay off a little bit. I was more consistent. I was working a lot harder since Day 1. I was working hard, but having them telling me, 'Come on, man. You've got to work. You've got to continue to strive to be better.' That helped me to, instead of working hard, I worked harder. That's a big difference."

John McDonald, a special assistant to the player development department, watched Lindor in Columbus. The Indians wanted Lindor to limit his mental mistakes before they entertained the idea of a promotion.

"I live and learn," Lindor said. "Those mistakes help me to be a better player. And, I'm here. It doesn't mean I'm going to stop learning -- no way."

Tremie reached out to Francona earlier in the week to tell him about Lindor's improvements.

"He goes, 'This kid has really kicked it into gear," Francona said.

Lindor's arrival comes a week after minor league teammate Giovanny Urshela traveled north on I-71 to make his Indians debut. Moving forward -- Lindor did not start on Sunday, but is expected to receive the majority of playing time at shortstop -- the Tribe will have a pair of rookies on the left side of the infield.

"I'm actually excited about it," Francona said. "I don't think any of us are ever afraid of youth. I think we know that with that, you need to stay with it and I told Lindor, I sad 'hey, man, we want to help you.' As long as they're open to listening and being like a sponge, that's ok."

After Anthony Gose swung and missed to end the fifth inning, home-plate umpire Joe West called for the tarp.

DETROIT -- After Anthony Gose swung and missed to end the fifth inning, home-plate umpire Joe West called for the tarp.

The Indians and Tigers entered into a rain delay after five innings, with Detroit gripping a 2-0 lead. 

It rained for much of the morning in the Motor City. The precipitation halted for the first few innings on Sunday afternoon, but the rain returned as the Tribe took their hacks in the fifth. Rain and possibly thunderstorms are expected in the area for much of the afternoon and early evening.

Alfredo Simon limited the Indians to three hits in five innings. Corey Kluber allowed a run in the first and allowed a 450-foot solo blast to Miguel Cabrera in the fourth. 

The Indians are scheduled to fly to Chicago after Sunday's affair. They play against the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday and Tuesday.

Since July 20, 2014, the Indians are 3-14 against Detroit.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Miguel Cabrera and J.D. Martinez homered and Alfredo Simon allowed three hits in five innings as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Cleveland Indians, 8-1, Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park in Detroit, Mich. Francisco Lindor, the Tribe's top prospect, made his MLB debut and went 1-for-2 with a single.

Here is a capsule look after a DVR review of the Fox SportsTime Ohio telecast:

Sputtering: The Indians (29-33) have lost six of nine. They have lost three straight three-game series (vs. Baltimore, vs. Seattle, at Detroit).

Back on track: The Tigers (33-30) have won five of seven since losing eight in a row.

Dominance: Detroit leads the season series against Cleveland, 7-2. It is 4-2 at Comerica Park.

Since July 20, 2014, Detroit has won 14 of 17 meetings.

Bitter pills: The Tribe fell to 3-11 in games started by Corey Kluber (5 IP, 4 H, 2 R).

Two games in one: The Tribe trailed, 2-0, after five innings. Rain halted play for 1 hour, 50 minutes.

After the delay, the Tigers removed all doubt in a hurry. The Tribe failed to score in the sixth and Martinez hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the inning.

Miggy's world: Cabrera went 3-for-4. He flied to deep left-center off Kluber in the first; homered to left-center off Kluber in the fourth; singled to left off Scott Atchison in the sixth; and singled to center off Ryan Webb in the eighth.

Cabrera is batting .571 (20-for-35) with five homers and 10 RBI against Kluber in their careers.

In nine games against the Indians this season, Cabrera is batting .647 (22-for-34) with five homers, 15 RBI, seven walks and zero HBP.

In 139 career games against the Indians, Cabrera is batting .364 (195-for-536) with 40 homers, 127 RBI, 105 runs, 71 walks and four HBPs.

Good enough: Simon (7-3, 2.58) walked one and struck out five. He improved to 3-0 in three starts against Cleveland this season; in the past two, he has combined to allow one run in 11 2/3 innings.

Simon doesn't overpower but compensates by changing eye levels and keeping batters off-balance. The Indians have been unable to solve his off-speed stuff -- notably, the slider and split-change.

Simon deserves credit for his work Sunday, but he received two breaks in the fourth.

Jason Kipnis led off with a walk. Carlos Santana lined the first pitch to right field, where Martinez barely needed to move in order to make the catch.

Not only did Santana hit the ball hard with nothing to show for it, he failed to move Kipnis from first. That loomed large when the next batter, Michael Brantley, grounded sharply down the first-base line. Cabrera, near the line and the base because he was holding Kipnis, knocked down the ball and retired Brantley. Cabrera's attempt for a double play went awry when his throw to second struck  Kipnis's helmet and caromed into left-center. Kipnis scooted to third on Cabrera's error.

Brandon Moss popped to second.

Kip it and rip it: Kipnis extended his hitting streak to 10 games and finished 2-for-3 with a walk. 

Kluber chronicles: Kluber (3-8, 3.54 ERA) allowed two runs on four hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out two. Here is a pitch-by-pitch breakdown of his start:

FIRST INNING

(L) Anthony Gose -- 92 fastball outside; 92 fastball outside; 89 cutter down and in; 93 fastball away, walk.

(R) Ian Kinsler -- 92 fastball inside; fastball called strike; 89 cutter swinging strike (Gose steals second off Kluber); 83 curve, bloop RBI single to left (down and away).

Skinny: Bad break for Kluber.

(R) Miguel Cabrera -- 93 fastball up and in; 91 down and away; 94 fastball low; 94 fastball called strike; 94 fastball, fly to left-center (Michael Brantley running catch).

Skinny: Kluber was fortunate that the Comerica Park outfield is so spacious.

(R) Yoenis Cespedes -- 94 fastball called strike; 94 fastball foul; 94 fastball foul; 90 cutter swinging strikeout (Kinsler caught stealing second thanks in part to good slap-tag by Kipnis).

(17 pitches)

SECOND INNING

(R) J.D. Martinez -- 92 fastball called strike; 92 fastball foul; 84 curve foul; 93 fastball up; 89 cutter outside; 94 fastball foul; 84 curve, fly to center.

(L) Tyler Collins -- 89 cutter called strike; 85 changeup, grounder to first.

(R) Bryan Holaday -- 88 cutter, grounder to third.

(10 pitches)

THIRD INNING

(L) Andrew Romine -- 92 fastball high; 93 fastball outside; 92 fastball outside; 92 fastball called strike; 92 fastball, liner to second.

(R) Jose Iglesias  -- 93 fastball high; 93 fastball called strike; 83 curve called strike; 93 fastball foul; 88 cutter foul; 93 fastball, pop to second (inside).

(L) Anthony Gose -- 89 cutter bunt foul; 85 changeup outside; 85 changeup high and outside; 88 cutter foul; 93 fastball, grounder to second.

(16 pitches)

FOURTH INNING

(R) Ian Kinsler -- 86 cutter, fly to right.

Fox SportsTime Ohio analyst Rick Manning said: "Most guys, after that leadoff hitter makes an out on the first pitch, will take the next pitch. But (Cabrera) won't. If he gets something he likes, he'll swing it.''

(R) Miguel Cabrera -- 91 fastball, homer to left-center (outer half above the knees).

Skinny: Cabrera is a fabulous hitter, but Kluber made it too easy for him. The fastball didn't have much on it and was over the plate.

(R) Yoenis Cespedes -- 92 fastball, fly to center.

(R) J.D. Martinez -- 92 fastball foul; 91 fastball inside; 83 curve called strike; 93 fastball foul; 88 cutter foul; 95 fastball outside; 83 curve, fly to center.

(10 pitches)

FIFTH INNING

(L) Tyler Collins -- 91 fastball outside; 88 cutter outside; 93 fastball called strike; 92 fastball foul; 90 cutter, grounder to second.

(R) Bryan Holaday -- 91 fastball swinging strike; 88 cutter, bunt single toward third.

(L) Andrew Romine -- 92 fastball foul; 92 fastball inside; 92 fastball low; 92 fastball, fly to center.

(R) Jose Iglesias -- (rain intensifies) 89 cutter called strike; 92 fastball, single to right.

(L) Anthony Gose -- 92 fastball foul; 88 cutter foul; 83 curve, swinging strikeout.

The Cleveland Indians fell short in their bid to win a series against their division foe at Comerica Park. After Sunday's 8-1 loss, here is what manager Terry Francona, pitcher Corey Kluber and rookie shortstop Francisco Lindor had to say.

DETROIT -- The Cleveland Indians fell short in their bid to win a series against their division foe at Comerica Park. After Sunday's 8-1 loss, here is what manager Terry Francona, pitcher Corey Kluber and rookie shortstop Francisco Lindor had to say.

Francona, on Kluber's outing:
"He walked the first hitter on four pitches, which is tough. You don't have a chance to even settle into the game, especially with the guys that are coming up."

Kluber, on his performance, in which he limited Detroit to two runs on four hits over five innings:
"Obviously, the lead-off walk was no good. Other than that, Miggy's home run was the only hard-hit ball, so [I] can't really complain about that."

Kluber, on dealing with the rain:
"You never want to have a start cut short by rain. You only get to go out there every five days so obviously you want to go as long as you can. There was nothing I could really do about that."

Francona, on the decision to move to the bullpen as the rain delay persisted:
"The rain came and [Kluber] simulated an inning and then, once we had the next delay, for him, he'd have to simulate another inning. That's basically having him at 100 (pitches), and then he has to go out and pitch. So that didn't seem to make much sense. We'll let him take the little bit of rest as opposed to getting extended and let him use it to his advantage because there's going to be a lot of baseball where we'll be glad maybe he saved a few pitches."

Francona, on the struggles of reliever Scott Atchison, who allowed a three-run home run to J.D. Martinez in his first appearances since returning from the disabled list:
"It seems like every time he leaves a breaking ball or a cutter up, he gets hurt on it. I thought his fastball looked like it had better life to it. Again, putting hitters away was an issue before and today it hurt him because he left it up."

Lindor, on whether he had nerves as he approached the plate for the first time in his big league career:
"Of course I did. Of course. I was excited. The first at-bat went quick. The second at-bat, I was trying to slow myself down a little bit."

Francona, on Lindor's first career hit:
"It's a tough day for us, but you try to always do something. In this case, getting him in there and getting him a couple at-bats should help his nerves moving forward."

Miguel Cabrera is hitting .571 (20-for-35) with five homers and 10 RBI off Indians right-hander Corey Kluber.

DETROIT - Corey Kluber, last year's American League Cy Young winner, was asked how does one pitches to Miguel Cabrera.

"You're asking the wrong guy," said Kluber.

There was a lot of truth in those five words.

Cabrera is hitting .571 (20-for-35) against Kluber in his career. The perks in those 20 hits include five homers and 10 RBI.

In the Tigers' 8-1 victory over the Indians on Sunday, Kluber did catch a break. The game was stopped for almost two hours by rain after the fifth inning. Manager Terry Francona decided to go to his bullpen when play resumed rather than send Kluber back out.

It gave Kluber some extra rest. It also meant he didn't have to face Cabrera again.

There was no way to avoid the first five innings.

After Kluber gave up an RBI single to Ian Kinsler to give Detroit a 1-0 lead in the first, Cabrera sent a liner to the gap in left center. Michael Brantley ran it down for a great catch, but Cabrera was just getting loose.

In the fourth, with one out, Cabrera hit Kluber's first pitch 452 feet over the fence in left center field. It landed in the second deck of the ivy, just to the right of Al Kaline's retired No. 6.

Kluber threw a fastball right down the middle and Cabrera didn't miss it. Cabrera went 3-for-4 Sunday. This season he is hitting .647 (22-for-34) against the Indians with five homers and 16 RBI.

If it feels like Cabrera hits that every season against the Indians, you wouldn't be wrong. Cabrera is hitting .364 (194-for-536) with 40 homers and 127 RBI in his career against the Tribe.

So why throw Cabrera a first-pitch fastball as Kluber did in the fourth inning?

Kluber said he was trying to attack the former Triple Crown winner.

"That's my mind set to every hitter," said Kluber. "Just because he's had success off me in the past I'm not going to shy away from him. I'm not going to try and make the perfect pitch.

"I'm going to stick to my game plan and make a good pitch."

As for where the fastball that Cabrera hit was supposed to go, Kluber said, "I was trying to throw a fastball down and away and it came back over the middle."

The Tigers might be old. They might be struggling to stay above .500 after winning four straight AL Central titles, but there are two things they can depend on.

They can always bully the Indians and Cabrera can always hit Cleveland pitching.

Kluber was asked if it's possible for one hitter to dominate a pitching staff like Cabrera has the Indians.

"You ask if he can, well, he is right now," said Kluber. "I wish we had done a better job of consistently executing pitches to him. I think he's doing a really good job of hitting mistakes when we throw them."

The Indians and Tigers play 10 more times this year. Does that mean the mistakes will keep coming?

Indians right-hander Corey Kluber lost for the eighth time Sunday in a rain-shortened start against the Tigers. When Kluber won the Cy Young last year, he lost nine games all season.

DETROIT - Be it rain, sunshine or sleet, Miguel Cabrera delivers against the Indians.

Cabrera hit his 14^th homer of the season Sunday to lead the Tigers to 8-1 victory over the Indians at Comerica Park. Cabrera has hit five homers against the Indians this season and 40 in his career.

The Indians have been playing baseball since 1901. Cabrera, according to MLB's Jordan Bastian, is the only player besides Babe Ruth to have 30 or more homers and a .350 or above batting average against the Indians. Ruth hit .356 with 92 homers against the Tribe.

Cabrera gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead with a 450-foot homer to left center field with one out in the fourth. Corey Kluber threw a first-pitch fastball down the heart of the plate and Cabrera performed surgery on it.

On Friday night, Cabrera's three-run homer in the sixth off Danny Salazar broke a scoreless tie and hit the camera station in center field. It traveled, according to ESPN, 452 feet.

Cabrera is hitting .647 (22-for-34) with five homers and 15 RBI against the Indians this season. In his career, he's hitting .364 (195-for-536) against them.

The game was delayed by rain for almost two hours after the fifth inning.

When play resumed, Scott Atchison replaced Kluber. Atchison, who just came off the disabled list Saturday, promptly gave up a three-run homer to J.D. Martinez in the sixth to make it a 5-0 lead.

Cabrera, of course, had a hand in the rally with a single.

The Tigers added three more runs in the eighth off Ryan Webb. Bryan Holaday's double knocked in two of them. Cabrera, once again, had a single in the rally.

Kluber (3-8, 3.54) allowed two runs on four hits in five innings. He struck out two and walked one.

Cabrera hammered another Kluber fastball to the gap in left center in the first with the Tigers leading, 1-0. If not for a fine running catch by Michael Brantley, the Tigers would have had another run and Cabrera another RBI against the Tribe.

The Tigers first baseman is hitting .571 (21-for-36) with five homers and 10 RBI against Kluber in his career.

It was Kluber's 14th start and once again his teammates forgot to get their bats out of the bat rack.

Kluber entered the game with the second lowest run support in the big leagues. The Indians were averaging 2.45 runs per nine innings for last year's Cy Young winner while he was the pitcher of record. Oakland's Jesse Chavez is the only big league pitcher suffering from worst run support at 1.76 runs per nine innings.

Anthony Gose drew a leadoff walk in the first, stole second and scored on Ian Kinsler's bloop single to left.

On Sunday, he struck out five and allowed three hits in five scoreless innings.

What it means

The Indians (23-33) fell to 2-7 against the Tigers and 13-20 in the AL Central with Sunday's loss. After winning 12 of 16 games from May 19 through June 4, the Indians have lost six of their last nine games.

The Tigers (34-38) are 22-12 in the AL Central.

First big league knock, first big league stumble

Francisco Lindor made his big-league debut as a pinch-hitter in the seventh and struck out. He was batting for David Murphy.

In the ninth, Lindor sent a liner into the right field corner. He was headed for second, but hit first base wrong, fell and had to scramble back to first.

Helmets are good

Jason Kipnis was hit in the batting helmet as he slid into second base in the fourth inning. The ball skipped of Kipnis' helment and went into left field as Kipnis went to third.

Kipnis took off for second on Brantley's low liner to first. Cabrera made a diving stop to retire Brantley and threw toward second to try and get Kipnis in a double play. The ball found Kipnis' head instead for an error on Cabrera.

As Kipnis stood, he stepped on shortstop Jose Iglesias foot and Iglesias fell awkwardly to the ground. Iglesias waved off the trainer after regain his feet.

Homer happy

Martinez's homer was the fifth allowed by Atchison in 16 innings this season. He allowed four in 72 innings last year.

Rain delay

Sunday's game was delayed by rain for 1 hour and 51 minutes following the last out in the fifth inning.

That didn't go well

Webb entered the eighth inning having allowed two earned runs in 17 2/3 innings since joining the Tribe. In one inning, he allowed three runs on four hits.

Thanks for coming

The Indians and Tigers drew 36,994 fans to Sunday's game at Comerica Park. The three-game series drew 113,993 fans.

What's happen next?

The Indians open a two-game series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday night. Right-hander Trevor Bauer (5-3, 3.52) will face Jake Arrieta (6-4, 3.16) at 8:05 p.m. ET. SportsTime Ohio and WMMS FM/100.7 will carry the game.

Bauer is coming off a poor start against Seattle in which he allowed six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings in a 9-3 loss.

Arrieta is 3-1 in his last four starts. He beat Detroit his last time out, allowing three earned runs with eight strikeouts in six innings, Tuesday.

Check out the winners and losers from Game 5 of the 2015 NBA Finals.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Here is a look at some of the winners and losers following Sunday's 104-91 Cleveland Cavaliers loss against the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 of the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals.

Winner: Stephen Curry

The NBA's Most Valuable Player finally arrived at the Finals on Sunday with a dominating 17-point performance in the fourth quarter. Curry said afterward that he simply stuck to what he had been doing all season, and made plays that he felt confident making. "I think it helps to have gone through Game 2 where we were rushing a little bit in the same situation," Curry said afterward. "A one- or two-possession game in the fourth quarter, and we got -- I call them better shots because they were more in rhythm than in Game 2 where it was come down, look for the first shot... Obviously when one goes in, it helps keep your confidence high."

Loser: Iman Shumpert

Shumpert, who has had an up-and-down shooting series, was 3 for 9 from the floor and finished with 10 points in Game 5, but it was his costly turnover on a bad pass that was stolen by Curry with 3:53 left that helped the Warriors push a five-point lead out to 10 within the next 50 seconds. Coupled with J.R. Smith's shooting woes and poor shot selection, the Cavaliers are getting little production from their backcourt down the stretch in the last two games.

Winners: Canadians

Future generations of maple leaf-clad post players will look up to Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson the same way Thompson idolized Toronto great Vince Carter when he was growing up. But those youngsters will be emulating Thompson's tenacity on the glass and his relentless effort that has been on display during every shot of this NBA Finals. Thompson is shooting 55.6 percent from the floor and averaging 10.7 rebounds in the postseason alone. That's on top of playing an average of 10 more minutes per game after moving into the starting lineup to replace the injured Kevin Love.  

Losers: Australians

Golden State center Andrew Bogut was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft. He has averaged 8.1 rebounds and 4.7 rebounds in 23 minutes per game in the Warriors' postseason run. On Sunday he did not start and did not play a single minute. He's become the forgotten man in Kerr's increasingly effective small ball rotation. Conversely, Bogut's countryman Matthew Dellavedova has fallen on hard times in the last two games, shooting just 5 for 23 from the field with 5 turnovers after his "hustle and grit" dazzled fans for the first three games of the series. Delly tried his best to cover Stephen Curry in the fourth quarter of Game 5, but the MVP guard was still able to shake free for 17 of his 37 points, including a pair of dagger 3-pointers late that turned a close game into a rout.

Winner: ESPN, ABC and TNT

Game 5 likely topped the 20 million mark in total viewers, earning a 14.2 rating and continuing the trend of ABC smashing NBA Finals viewership records. Game 5 ratings were up 21 percent over last season's Heat-Spurs Game 5. And the trend should have the networks eager to use those numbers in negotiating new advertising contracts to pay for the "insane" $24 billion media rights deal they signed with the league last year. The unprecedented ratings fueled by LeBron, Steph and Co. will allow the networks to charge a King's ransom for air time during next year's finals. (And will certainly give the league an incentive to ensure a similar matchup takes place in the Finals next year, right?).

Loser: The 8 second rule

When the Cavaliers were mistakenly called for a violation of the eight second rule late in the second quarter, it outraged many fans who went on to criticize the rule for even being in place. Fans argued on social media that keeping the ball in your own backcourt for more than eight seconds only hurts your own chances of getting a decent shot on offense. The rule was changed from 10 to eight seconds in the 2002 season. Officials use the shot clock as a guide. When the shot clock is at 16 seconds, if the ball is not across the line, it is a violation and the opposing team gets possession. The rules change seemed to be lost on ABC analyst Mark Jackson, who called out LeBron James by saying that "Magic Johnson would have never gotten called for 8 seconds.." when he played in the finals. And Jackson is 100 percent right. Sort of. Because Magic Johnson never played when the 8 second rule was in effect, and therefore would have never been subject to its constraints.

The Cavs participation in the NBA Finals has brought the best of locally designed Cleveland T-shirts to the national spotlight. Several local designers tell us how fun it's been.

CLEVELAND, Ohio --One of the enduring images of the Cleveland Cavaliers' run through the NBA Finals has been East 4th Street -- packed with fans and beamed to a national TV audience.

Along with the fans have been the LeBron James Fatheads, signs proclaiming love for Matthew Dellavedova and T-shirts with various slogans - lots and lots of T-shirts.

One of those T-shirt slogans seems to have really caught on as Sage Steele, of the "ESPN on ABC NBA Countdown" crew, has been welcoming TV viewers to "The Land" before Cavalier home games. 

Did that come from the locally designed "Cleve Land That I Love" T-shirt from GV Art + Design? Owners George Vlosich Jr. and sons George III and Greg all shrug at the question. "We don't take credit for that, but who knows," says Greg.

We spoke to some of the city's most popular local T-shirt creators to find out how they're managing the changing tides of the Cavs championship run.

The Fresh Brewed Tees truck has been on the road since October 2009.

Owner Tony Madalone and his team of designers are busy churning out new looks, as every hour of every day matters. With the truck, a website store, a shop in Concourse C and a booth in Concourse A at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and merchandise in the Team Shop at Quicken Loans Arena, they can't keep their original Cavs designs on the shelves.

Madalone says that he and his team watch the trends and take requests. They offer about 20 different Cavs designs right now. When LeBron used the term "Grit Squad," they had shirts in about 24 hours. "We're so timely, the Cavs can't even keep up," says Madalone.

As for how this thing ends... "Knock on wood, we are prepared," he said. "The second it happens, we'll be ready."

The Fresh Brewed Tees truck will be at the Cleveland Flea from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday and also at the Cleveland Pizza Fest at the Berea Fairgrounds this weekend. Check Twitter @FreshBrewedTees or online at freshbrewedtees.com for times and locations.

Fresh Brewed Tees cost $25.99 online and at the airport locations. They are $25 or two for $40 on the truck. There are ladies V-necks and tanks, men's sizes and limited youth sizes.

GV Art + Design at 17411 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood has been so crowded, it's like Christmas. People are coming from all over to buy armloads of locally created, art driven designs on T-shirts from the Vlosich men.

The younger George is known far and wide for his Etch A Sketch artwork. He's been on countless television shows, at the White House and has been written about from here to Europe

"Greg was always sports first, then art and I was always art first, then sports," says George III. "The T-shirts are just another canvas for us to do our artwork on. We've both been drawing since we were 2 years old."

"The shirt designs are collaborative, we're huge sports fans and we're never at a loss for ideas," says Greg.

They even seem to have a knack for telling the future.

About a month ago, Greg turned his attention to Dellavedova -- before the then backup point guard had become a local folk legend.  "I was about to fall asleep one night and I thought of the "Woah Delly!" slogan. I wrote it in my phone knowing I'd forget in the morning."

"We like scrappy guys like Delly. You can never measure heart," says George III. "Greg wanted to be ready with the shirt when the time came, so we did it."

The time came when Dellavedova suddenly had a big game. Greg said he tweeted at halftime, asking fans if Delly deserved his own GV shirt. "It was the perfect storm," Greg said. "We got tons of responses and 1,500 retweets. We've sold thousands of that shirt, so far, can't keep them in stock.'

"It's been crazy. There were 100 people in line chanting 'DELLY!' when we opened this morning," Greg said last week.

George Jr. added: "Delly's cousins from Australia were in yesterday. They bought a Delly shirt for his mom. One was held up on ESPN SportsCenter on Tuesday night. People have been buying the shirts right off of our employees' backs if they can't find their size."

"This is our home and this is our city, we knew we would always live here," says George III. "We started with positive Cleveland messages when Cleveland was still getting a bum rap. That's how the 'Cleve Land That I Love' logo began."

GV Art + Designs T-shirts can be found at the Lakewood store and soon in a new store in Willoughby (check the website for updates). They can also be found online and in the Cavs Team Shop at The Q.

T-shirts range in price from $25 to $28 with sizes for men, women and kids.

CLE Clothing Co. has a few locations including one in the center of the action on the corner of East 4^th Street and Euclid Avenue.

Owner Mike Kubinski says that their designs are a team effort. "If we think an idea is fun, funny or something that we would wear, we'll make it," he says. "We have tons of ideas in our sketchbooks and files from over the last six years."

As for the Cavs championship run, he says, "We will see...we don't want to jinx something...."

All T-shirts are $25 in sizes for men, women and children.

Stores are at 342 Euclid Ave., Cleveland and at Native-Cleveland, 15813 Waterloo Road. In the summer, they have pop-up shops at Crocker Park in Westlake and Legacy Village in Lyndhurst. Check the website for information and hours.

Other local T-shirt dealers also are riding the Cavs wave. Look for shirts from Made By Superior at the Cleveland Flea this Saturday.

A few more indie designs are available from printer Michael Duhr of ilovecle.com. He's a graphic artist and desktop publisher with a few unique Cavs designs.

"Everything we make is made in America and printed in Cleveland proper.  We have been doing this for around seven years now.  I am the sole proprietor and make all the designs," Duhr said. Check out his work at ilovecle.com.

Chevrolet dominates IndyCar weekend again in Toronto over Honda finishing in top eight spots led by Josef Newgarden.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Until the likes of Graham Rahal and Marco Andretti can return to consistent podium finishes racing under Honda power, Chevrolet will remain as the undisputed champion power plant for IndyCar.

No disgrace, really, considering Chevrolet is flexing everywhere these days, including weekend victories at LeMans and in NASCAR. But Honda is probably most recognized as a brand with IndyCar. To consistently sit well outside of the points race and the manufacturers hunt this season with 10 of 16 races in the books clearly does not sit well.

Two pieces of good news for Honda include two weeks to kind of regroup as this coming Father's Day weekend will be an off weekend for the series before returning the weekend of June 27 for the oval race in California. The other plus for Honda is, historically, the manufacturer responds pretty quickly to adversity.

This goes back to Honda's first foray into IndyCar when it failed to qualify for the Indianapolis its first year, then held the lead until the end its second year, finishing second. Honda had a slow start to the season in 2012, but by midyear was solidly in the mix.

Now the addition of aero kits - which is where Chevy seems to have a huge advantage - appears to be a bigger issue for Honda over power, but there is no reason to believe at some point that issue will be figured out as well.

Until then, it's all Chevrolet as Sunday's race won by Josef Newgarden continues a pattern. Chevy finished in the top eight spots, with Rahal in the first Honda, finishing ninth.

"I was pleased with the car's performance but it's just not quick enough everywhere,'' Rahal told the media after the Toronto finish. "I think we found some things that will help us going forward, but it's just frustrating to put all this effort in that we are and to finish ninth."
