The Cleveland Guardians beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Friday night to end a four-game losing streak, with right-hander Tanner Bibee earning his second consecutive start win. Bibee records eight strikeouts and allows two hits over seven-plus innings. However, both hits are home runs, with Detroit’s James Outman and Spencer Torkelson accounting for the runs. The Tigers’ offense is otherwise limited as Cleveland prevents additional scoring despite the long home runs.
For Cleveland, Patrick Bailey and Steven Kwan each collect two hits and contribute an RBI. The Guardians’ scoring total is enough to secure the victory as Detroit is unable to tie the game or take the lead again after the home-run damage. The win improves Cleveland’s momentum following a stretch of four straight losses, while Bibee’s performance comes after a difficult earlier run in which he went 0-7 in his first 13 starts this season.
