Chisenhall gets the day off against a lefty, and Raburn is batting fifth, which is way, way too high to see his name. Tomlin faced the Tigers four weeks ago and (with some help from bad defense) allowed 8 runs in 4 innings. Hopefully he's got a better performance in him this afternoon, and the Tribe can finish off what would be a massive sweep.
