You know the old saying... say it along with me... “Thursday night rainshowers bring Friday doubleheaders!” We used to say that on the ol’ school yard all the time. Then again, I went to an extremely bizarre elementary school.
Forsooth, I digress. On with the business at hand.
A traditional doubleheader between the Guardians and Tigers in The Forest City on Friday afternoon/evening ended in a split, with Detroit taking Game 1 and Cleveland taking Game 2.
Game 1: Tigers 4, Guardians 2
The opener featured a Tarik Skubal/Gavin Williams matchup. Skubal’s been working his way up to normal-length outings and is basically there now, although his previous outing against Boston got derailed by a mistake to Triston Casas and a subsequent three-run dinger.
