After a Friday doubleheader split, the Tigers took on the Guardians in Cleveland for a Saturday night showdown. The Tigers got some good starting pitching, but several relievers couldn’t quite find the plate. Fortunately, they did just enough to stifle several late threats to allow Detroit to hold on for a 4-3 victory.
Matt Manning, who was originally supposed to start on Friday night before the rainout, manned (heh) the mound for the Michiganders. His previous start saw him pitch into the sixth, only giving up one earned run, but the previous three were, shall we say, lousy.
