Cleveland – It’s one of those plays that you don’t think too much about when it happens. But then it’s like a slow burn and afterwards, especially after a one-run loss like the Tigers’ endured against the Guardians Friday night, you realize it was big, potentially pivotal.
It happened at the end of the Tigers’ four-run fourth inning. They’d taken advantage some Cleveland misplays and turned a 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 lead. And they still had runners at second and third with two outs and had knocked starter Zach Plesac out of the game.
Cleveland manager Terry Francona brought in reliever Enyel De Los Santos to face Victor Reyes.
