Two overturned calls, Kerry Carpenter blast aid Tigers in second straight win
Cleveland — The baseball hasn’t much bounced the Tigers’ way this season. But it did Tuesday in their 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians.
The Tigers won a pivotal challenge in the first inning that led to a three-run head start and they prevailed on a controversial umpire's call in the bottom of the ninth to preserve it.
"I think the call was right," Tigers' manager AJ Hinch said. "But I totally understand Tito defending that call. I would have been just as angry if it went the other way."
Guardians manager Terry Francona, aka Tito, and center fielder Myles Straw were ejected in a wild bottom of the ninth.
