CLEVELAND (AP) — Triston McKenzie struck out 10 in his major league debut and Domingo Santana delivered a bases-clearing double in the sixth, lifting the Indians to a 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers.
McKenzie went six innings, allowing two hits on a Willi Castro homer and a Jeimer Candelario double.
The 23-year-old right-hander notched his first strikeout on three pitches to future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera in the first.
Matthew Boyd surrendered two runs in 5 1/3 innings for Detroit but remained winless in seven starts dating to last September.
The Indians have won 21 of their last 22 games against the Tigers.
