Unbelievably, it was another day filled with minor injuries for the Detroit Tigers. However, they persevered in this one, riding home runs from Harold Castro and Jeimer Candelario while the bullpen locked down Cleveland to win 2-1 on Sunday.
Guardians’ starter Triston McKenzie has been a real Tiger killer in his brief career, and Sunday would be no different. The difference, was that Elvin Rodriguez and the Tigers bullpen were able to shut down Cleveland with a little defensive help.
Both starters exchanged clean first innings, and while each team got a man on in the second inning, nothing approaching a real threat came to pass.
