Tarik Skubal struck out a career-high 14 in Game 1 on Tuesday, and the Tigers survived a 2-1 victory on Tuesday afternoon in Game 1. Detroit squandered a 14-game lead in the American League Central, losing the crown on Sunday. Zach McKinstry bunted home Riley Greene for the go-ahead run in the top of the seventh after Spencer Torkelson’s RBI single gave them a 1-0 lead in the first. Will Vest came on to get the final four outs.
The Guardians had a golden opportunity handed to them in the bottom of the ninth after shortstop Javier Báez’s two-base throwing error landed José Ramírez on third base with no one out. But Detroit navigated the threat when Vest threw out Ramírez at the plate on Kyle Manzardo’s comebacker with one out.
Tanner Bibee (12-11) starts Game 2 for Cleveland while Casey Mize (14-6) tries to pitch the Tigers to the AL Division Series against the Seattle Mariners with a win.
