What happened
Six games, six losses, and a road trip that started close enough to hurt. Tampa Bay took the opener 2-1 and the second 4-3, the kind of margins that keep people watching. Then came 10-1, and the pretense ended. Cleveland finished the job 5-3, 12-6, and finally 1-0, a shutout that felt almost merciful by comparison. The fanbase has stopped tracking wins and started tracking the number 95, which arrived right on schedule.
