The Detroit Tigers were narrowly defeated by the Cleveland Guardians in a thrilling matchup at Progressive Field. Despite a valiant effort, the Tigers fell 5-4 in a game that featured back-and-forth scoring and some standout performances. Detroit's Wenceel Perez was a bright spot, driving in two runs with a home run in the 4th inning, while Mark Canha and Zach McKinstry each contributed with hits and runs scored. The Tigers' bullpen struggled to contain Cleveland, with Joey Wentz allowing three earned runs and a pivotal home run by Jose Ramirez in the 5th inning. Cleveland's Steven Kwan also shined, going 2-3 with a home run and an RBI, ultimately driving the Guardians to victory. Despite the loss, Detroit showcased resilience, particularly in the 7th inning where they added two runs, including a sacrifice fly from Jake Rogers and aggressive baserunning that pressured the Guardians' defense. The Tigers will look to bounce back as they continue their road trip aiming to return to .500.
