The Indians have been doggin’ it lately. Cleveland has lost six in a row and will play Tampa Bay on Monday. The struggling Logan Allen (1-5, 8.38 ERA) was sent to Columbus where he pitched two months for the Clippers. Rejoined the rotation but the Tigers scored twice and chased him after three innings. The Rays’ 41-year-old Rich Hill (6-3, 3.70 ERA) looked over the hill in his last start. The Nats scored four runs on eight hits. Hill threw a three-hit gem at the Red Sox two starts back.
