The Cleveland Indians hit two grand slams and used wildness from Tigers pitchers to steamroll to a 20-3 victory on Saturday. Twelve walks were issued to Indians hitters, and the Tigers gave up at least 20 runs in a game for the second time this season. Roxie Lawson was the Tigers' biggest offender, as he gave up 10 runs and eight walks in three innings of work. The Tigers' pitching staff, thanks to a slew of doubleheaders, was taxed so Lawson was left in to take the majority of the punishment. Jeff Heath and Earl Averill both hit grand slams, in the eighth and ninth inning, respectively.
Greenberg watch: 54 home runs, eight games to play
