The Detroit Tigers enter the final game of a weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field seeking to avoid a sweep after losing the first two contests. On Friday night, Cleveland defeats Detroit 3-2 in a low-hit game in which the Tigers manage two hits, both solo home runs, and rely heavily on bullpen work after starter Jack Flaherty leaves early with an injury. On Saturday, Detroit again falls to Cleveland, 3-1, despite collecting nine hits. In that game, Tarik Skubal makes his return from the injured list, and while Detroit’s offense shows some production, it converts poorly in key situations, going 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position. Across the first two games, Detroit’s offense is limited in clutch moments, while the pitching workload shifts quickly due to Flaherty’s early exit. The teams meet again on Sunday with Detroit attempting to secure at least one win in the series.
