Daniel Schneemann's hit in the 10th inning proved decisive for the Cleveland Guardians, as they secured a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. The walk-off win marked the Guardians' third in the four-game series. With a runner on second base, Patrick Bailey opened the inning with a single off Kyle Finnegan. Schneemann then hit a well-placed 1-0 pitch to right field, resulting in a run scoring from third base.
The Guardians had not led at any point in the series until this moment. Cleveland had swept a doubleheader on Friday and was shut out on Saturday. Starting pitcher Cade Smith (5-1) pitched two perfect innings, striking out the side in the 10th inning, with Angel Genao contributing the go-ahead run. Brayan Rocchio added a solo homer for the Guardians, who entered the game tied with Toronto for the final wild-card spot.
Guardians starter Gavin Williams had another strong outing, allowing two runs and striking out 11 in six innings, marking his 11th double-digit strikeout game of the season. Rocchio tied the score 2-2 in the fifth inning with his 13th homer, driven in two runs, and also put the Tigers up 2-0 in the first inning with a two-run double.
Riley Greene contributed two home runs and four RBIs in Saturday's 6-0 win for the Tigers. The Guardians will next face the Orioles' Trevor Rogers in a three-game series in Baltimore, while the Tigers will open a three-game set in Minnesota with RHP Troy Melton (7-4, 2.20 ERA).
