What Happened in the Game?
A Tough Start
The game started rough for the Guardians. The Tigers scored three runs in the first inning! Kerry Carpenter hit a double, Gleyber Torres walked, and Colt Keith got an RBI double. Guardians’ pitcher Luis Ortiz had a hard time, letting Zach McKinstry walk and Matt Vierling hit a single for two more runs. But Ortiz got better, not giving up any runs for the next four innings, keeping it 3-0.
Guardians Catch Up
Cleveland started fighting back in the third. Bo Naylor hit a big home run—his seventh this year—to make it 3-1. Then, Jhonkensy Noel got on base because of a Tigers’ error, and Lane Thomas walked. Jose Ramírez hit a single to score Noel, making it 3-2. Ramírez has hit in 17 straight games, the longest in baseball right now! In the eighth, Ramírez singled again, got to third on Kyle Manzardo’s hit, and slid home on Angel Martínez’s grounder to tie it 3-3. Fans loved his fast slide!
Huge 10th Inning
The game went to extra innings, and the Guardians went big! In the 10th, Kyle Manzardo hit a double to score a run against Tigers’ pitcher Brenan Hanifee, making it 4-3. Carlos Santana walked, and Angel Martínez hit another double for one more run, 5-3. Bo Naylor’s fly ball scored a run, and Nolan Jones’ single added another, making it 7-3. In the bottom of the 10th, Gleyber Torres hit a double for two runs, closing it to 7-5. But Guardians’ closer Emmanuel Clase got two quick outs to win it. Tim Herrin got the win for pitching a great ninth.

Tigers’ Tough Night
The Tigers started strong but couldn’t keep it up. They hadn’t lost three games in a row since April.

Torres’ double was their big moment late. Detroit’s 33-20 record keeps them in first, but Cleveland’s 29-22 is just three games behind.
