Detroit — Spencer Turnbull’s last start, in which he pitched effectively in Toronto and earned his first win since May 29, 2021, got lost in all the drama of the Javier Báez benching.
He followed up with another strong start on Wednesday, pitching scoreless ball into the sixth inning. But this one was marred, too — by a three-run home run by Jose Ramirez in the sixth inning.
The Guardians salvaged the finale of the series and ended the Tigers’ five-game winning streak with a 3-2 win at Comerica Park.
BOX SCORE: Guardians 3, Tigers 2
The Ramirez at-bat in the sixth was a reversal of fortunes for both he and Turnbull.
