After a solid 4-1 victory in game one, courtesy of a fine major league debut from Garrett Hill, the Tigers came out looking to sweep the doubleheader from their AL Central tormentors, the Cleveland Guardians. They got it done thanks to some timely hitting, power from Eric Haase, and a heck of a good job by the Tigers’ bullpen once again, winning 5-3.
Alex Faedo was good early on. He racked up three quick fly balls outs in the first, then struck out Franmil Reyes to open the top of the second. Andres Gimenez walked, but Faedo struck out Owen Miller, and Gimenez was cut down by Eric Haase trying to steal second.
