The Detroit Tigers took advantage of mistakes.
Then, they built on an early lead.
An important four-run second inning was fueled by a hit batter and a pair of fielding errors, but the Tigers wouldn't have scored without timely hits, and without those big hits, they might not have won their the third game in a row against the Cleveland Guardians.
The Tigers kept their foot on the gas and smoked the Guardians, 11-4, as the offense attacked right-hander Cal Quantrill on Tuesday for six runs across his four innings and battered the bullpen for a handful of insurance runs.
