What began as a brutal 10-game road trip turned out to be a .500 journey away from the Motor City as the Detroit Tigers swept the Cincinnati Reds this past weekend, returning home with a 5-5 mark. However, the top team in the American League Central awaits their arrival back home for a four-game series this week.
The Cleveland Guardians head to Comerica Park on Monday to open up the weekday divisional battle. They currently hold a six-game lead over the second-place Minnesota Twins — who beat the Tigers, two games to one last week — and a commanding 15-game lead over Detroit.
