CLEVELAND – Harold Castro and Jonathan Schoop each drove in three runs, powering the Detroit Tigers past the Cleveland Indians 9-4 in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday night. Detroit won at Cleveland for the first time in five games this season. The first pitch was delayed by 2 hours, 29 minutes because of intermittent rain, pushing the doubleheader to an evening start. Rookie Bobby Bradley hit two of the Indians’ four homers, connecting in the second and fourth innings. Bradley has eight home runs and 17 RBI in 20 games since his June 5 recall from Triple-A Columbus. José Ramírez and César Hernández also went deep for Cleveland. Ramírez, who leads the Indians with 18 homers, fouled a pitch off his left cheek in the fifth and was taken to a hospital after the game.
