- 0:11Speaker 2: Give you the.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Defensive changes for Detroit in a moment. Eighth inning. 2-0
- 0:16Speaker 3: Cleveland still out there. Right-hander Birch Smith. Patrick Bailey 0
- 0:22Speaker 3: for 2. Bats left-handed. And takes ball one. Zach McKinstry
- 0:27Speaker 3: at second. Kevin McGonigal, now short. Colt Keith at third. Smith,
- 0:33Speaker 3: the wind and pitch. Outside, 2-0. Bailey's flied out, fouled out,
- 0:39Speaker 3: but he's caught a four-hit shutout. Smith dealing. Bailey with
- 0:47Speaker 3: a drive. Deep right center field. On the run, Perez,
- 0:51Speaker 3: and it is gone! Patrick Bailey's first home run as
- 0:58Speaker 3: a Cleveland Guardian.
- 1:00Speaker 2: A towering blast to right center.
- 1:04Speaker 3: And the Guardians get a mammoth insurance run and lead
- 1:09Speaker 3: it 3-0 here in the eighth. And what a welcoming
- 1:12Speaker 3: committee awaiting him in the first base dugout. He got
- 1:18Speaker 3: that critical RBI to tie the game in the ninth
- 1:21Speaker 3: last night. And a blast to right center here in
- 1:25Speaker 3: the eighth. Here's Brian Rocchio. Two doubles, two at bats.
- 1:31Speaker 3: He takes down low, ball one. And Cleveland six outs
- 1:36Speaker 3: away from a sweep. Now lead 3-0 in the eighth.
- 1:42Speaker 3: That pitch down low, 2-0. Four-game series are still a rarity.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Sweeping a four-game series... The pitch, 3-0, way outside and low.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Smith shaken by the bomb. It is just so hard
- 2:03Speaker 3: to sweep any team in four games. The pitch, there's
- 2:07Speaker 3: the strike, 3-1. Much less the team now that's become
- 2:12Speaker 3: your biggest rival in the AL Central. Now the 3-1 delivery.
- 2:19Speaker 3: And strike two to Brian Rocchio. His two-out double in
- 2:23Speaker 3: the third got things rolling when Daniel Schneeman then followed
- 2:27Speaker 3: it with an RBI double and Jose Ramirez RBI single.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Payoff pitch swung on line to left down the line.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Foul by a foot or so. And Arrokia flips the
- 2:38Speaker 3: bat in the air, catches it. Thought he had himself
- 2:41Speaker 3: an opposite field extra base hit. So Cleveland with a
- 2:46Speaker 3: 3-0 lead in the eighth. And of course, without your
- 2:49Speaker 3: two big guns, Eric Cebrowski and Cade Smith to finish
- 2:54Speaker 3: it off.
- 2:55Speaker 2: You can't get enough runs.
- 2:57Speaker 3: The pitch, swing and a foul, drifting down the left
- 3:00Speaker 3: side out of play. Not that other guys can't get
- 3:04Speaker 3: it done in the bullpen, because this is a very
- 3:09Speaker 3: deep and a lot of quality in the bullpen, but
- 3:14Speaker 3: there's a reason Cade Smith has become the best closer
- 3:17Speaker 3: in the American League, and he's unavailable. As Roquio fouling
- 3:22Speaker 3: it again into the third base seats. Will do it
- 3:24Speaker 3: again at three and two. Cleveland trying to win it
- 3:29Speaker 3: sixth in a row. Now the payoff. Swung and grounded
- 3:38Speaker 3: in the hole. Base hit into right between first and second.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Three hit game for Roquio. Here's a staggering number, at least.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I think so, Rosie.
- 3:48Speaker 3: We know that Detroit had a monumental collapse and Cleveland
- 3:53Speaker 3: had an historical comeback. No team has ever been 15
- 3:59Speaker 3: and a half games out and won a division title
- 4:03Speaker 3: like Cleveland did a year ago, catching Detroit the last
- 4:07Speaker 3: week of the season. But Detroit last year at the
- 4:13Speaker 3: All-Star break had a double-digit lead had a record of
- 4:22Speaker 3: 59-38 at the All-Star break a year ago. Now the batter,
- 4:30Speaker 3: top of the order, Daniel Schneeman. The pitch, high. If
- 4:37Speaker 3: Cleveland wins today, Detroit, since the All-Star break of a
- 4:42Speaker 3: year ago, will be 48-68. 20 games under. 500 since
- 4:46Speaker 3: the All-Star game. That pitch high, ball two, 2-0. So
- 4:56Speaker 3: that is a staggering four-and-a-half-month decline for the Tigers.
- 5:03Speaker 4: And I'm sure, as last season concluded, they just figured,
- 5:07Speaker 4: all right, fresh start. We'll get it going again in 2026.
- 5:11Speaker 4: But they've been hit by injuries and just haven't played well.
- 5:14Speaker 4: They haven't swung the bats well. Now the 2-0 pitch.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Check swing.
- 5:19Speaker 3: He went around 2-1-1. Daniel Schneeman, one for three, an
- 5:23Speaker 3: RBI single. Schneeman was asking, did I swing? And yes,
- 5:32Speaker 3: his home plate ump, Manny Gonzalez. Two and one, the count.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Runner at first, nobody out. Three-nothing Cleveland, eighth inning. Now
- 5:44Speaker 3: the pitch. Rocio dancing off first. Outside, three and one. Remember,
- 5:51Speaker 3: Cleveland leads the league in steals with 53, and Rocchio
- 5:57Speaker 3: has eight of them.
- 5:58Speaker 2: He could be running at any point. The 3-1 pitch.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Outside he walked him, and Burt Smith has given up
- 6:08Speaker 3: a home run, a single, a walk.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Nobody out, two men on.
- 6:14Speaker 3: And here comes Jose Ramirez, and this is the worst-case.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Scenario for Detroit.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Jose with an RBI single today in his career against Detroit.
- 6:29Speaker 3: 36 homers, 46 doubles, 136 RBIs. The pitch, up and in,
- 6:37Speaker 3: and it's called a strike. And all of those numbers
- 6:41Speaker 3: have been compiled in 170 games, basically a little over
- 6:46Speaker 3: a year. Think of that season if.
- 6:49Speaker 2: You had it. The pitch. High, 1-1.
- 6:53Speaker 3: 36 homers, 46 doubles, 136 RBIs against the Tigers. Two on,
- 7:03Speaker 3: nobody out. Eighth inning, 3-0 Cleveland, the pitch. And he
- 7:07Speaker 3: bangs it foul right side in the count of 1-2.
- 7:12Speaker 4: Those numbers would put you in the MVP conversation for
- 7:14Speaker 4: a full season.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Which is where you usually see Jose Ramirez.
- 7:19Speaker 4: At the end of the season, but it's been remarkable
- 7:21Speaker 4: against the Tigers.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Six times Ramirez top five in the MVP vote. He
- 7:30Speaker 3: awaits the one-two delivery from the right-hander, Birch Smith.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Here it comes.
- 7:40Speaker 3: A swing and a foul right side will do it
- 7:43Speaker 3: again at one and two. The new sixth-generation Toyota 4Runner,
- 7:49Speaker 3: the most technologically advanced 4Runner ever. Toyota lets go places.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Outfield straight up, medium deep. Smith is ready, checks second,
- 8:02Speaker 3: comes to the plate, and he misses up 2-2 the count.
- 8:08Speaker 3: He drops that changeup a little bit lower, and it'll
- 8:12Speaker 3: be 6-0 Cleveland. Now the two-two. Fouled it at the plate.
- 8:22Speaker 3: We'll do it again at two and two. Smith, hand
- 8:43Speaker 3: spelled high. Checks second. Now he fires, and the pitch
- 8:48Speaker 3: fouled off again. Seven pitches and counting.
- 8:53Speaker 2: If you go.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Back to the last two weeks of last season, Cleveland
- 9:01Speaker 3: took five out of six from Detroit to win the division.
- 9:06Speaker 3: They're now 8-1 against Detroit. The pitch, down low, he
- 9:10Speaker 3: didn't go. Last three series. Cleveland's gone 8-1 against the Tigers.
- 9:17Speaker 3: They lead it 3-0 here in the eighth. And Jose
- 9:22Speaker 3: Ramirez awaiting the ninth pitch of the event.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Here it comes.
- 9:29Speaker 3: A swing and a miss. Got him with a curveball.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Bert Smith wins the battle. Here's Chase DeLauder 0-3.
- 9:36Speaker 2: This is... A big strikeout for Smith, and it's the
- 9:41Speaker 2: last batter he faces. A.J.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Hinch with another pitching change. And Cleveland with a 3-0
- 9:48Speaker 3: lead here in the eighth. One out, two on.
- 9:51Speaker 2: We'll be back.

- 11:36Speaker 3: Emmanuel DeJesus coming on. He's a left-hander who has spent
- 11:39Speaker 3: parts of 10 years in the minors. Cleveland with a
- 11:44Speaker 3: 3-0 lead, minute first and second one out. DeJesus since
- 11:49Speaker 3: coming up. A 2-0 record, but a 6.75 ERA and
- 11:55Speaker 3: a 3.04 batting average against. And he walks a lot
- 11:59Speaker 3: of people. Left on left, here's Chase DeLauder. Rocchio at second,
- 12:05Speaker 3: Schneeman at first. 3-0 Cleveland, one down eighth inning. The pitch,
- 12:11Speaker 3: and it's outside a ball. And remember, Chase DeLauder, better
- 12:15Speaker 3: against lefties, even though he's left-handed, than against right-handed pitching.
- 12:21Speaker 3: Hitting 333 against southpaws. Really stays in there, takes them
- 12:27Speaker 3: the other way. Now the pitch. Breaking ball strike on
- 12:34Speaker 3: the outer edge. Outfield playing. De Lauder as if he
- 12:38Speaker 3: were a right-handed pull hitter. Way around toward left. De Jesus,
- 12:43Speaker 3: not a hard thrower. Fastball, sinker, cutter, slider, changeup. The 1-1.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Fouled it back and out of play. One and two
- 12:52Speaker 2: to come.
- 12:54Speaker 3: DeJesus, one of four pitchers the Tigers have on their
- 12:58Speaker 3: staff that in the last few years have pitched overseas,
- 13:03Speaker 3: either in Japan or Korea. He spent the last two
- 13:07Speaker 3: years in Korea.
- 13:08Speaker 2: The one-two.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Breaking ball, hit a ton. Deep left center field. On
- 13:14Speaker 3: the run is Riley Green. Reaches up, made the catch.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Hitting second, scooting back to first is Schneeman. Roquio gets
- 13:24Speaker 3: back to second. Roquio was partway to third. Schneeman was
- 13:29Speaker 3: around second on his.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Way to third.
- 13:33Speaker 3: And Riley Green with a terrific running catch in deep
- 13:37Speaker 3: left center. And the water smoked one the other way
- 13:44Speaker 3: and almost got rewarded. Here's Reese Hoskins with two down.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Still 3-0 Cleveland. The set and pitch. A swing and
- 13:53Speaker 3: a miss. Changeup away. Boy, if that ball got over
- 13:58Speaker 3: the head of Green, then this game is blown wide open.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Hoskins 0 for 3. Two looks to second. The runner's
- 14:13Speaker 3: darting off. The runner second goes. Head first steal. Holding
- 14:18Speaker 3: at first was Schneeman. Bluffing a throw was Dingler. Pitch
- 14:23Speaker 3: was low to even the count. One and one the count.
- 14:27Speaker 3: So give Rocchio his ninth steal. The trail runner has
- 14:32Speaker 3: to make sure that he doesn't get a late start
- 14:37Speaker 3: and get thrown out. And if you have are in doubt,
- 14:42Speaker 3: then you do what Schneeman did, you stay put. He's
- 14:45Speaker 3: at first, Brocchio at third. Two down, Cleveland up 3-0.
- 14:50Speaker 3: The 1-1 pitch to Hoskins from Emmanuel DeJesus. Outside, it missed.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Ball, two, 2-1-1.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Hoskins trying to add to his team-leading 12 RBIs this month.
- 15:15Speaker 3: The pitch to him, and it's down low, a changeup, 3-1. Poison,
- 15:23Speaker 3: a great hitter's count. Travis Pisano waits on deck. He, too,
- 15:28Speaker 3: hits left-handed pitching pretty darn well. Now the 3-1. Swung on,
- 15:35Speaker 3: fouled it, straight back, good rip.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Full count.
- 15:39Speaker 3: So Schneeman will be off at first. Rocchio the runner
- 15:42Speaker 3: at third. Patrick Bailey's laid off homer to right center.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Putting Cleveland up 3-0 here in the eighth. Now the
- 15:52Speaker 3: payoff pitch. A swing and a pop-up into the seats
- 15:58Speaker 3: behind the plate.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Will do it again.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Reese Hoskins played at Sacramento State University. Ninth year in
- 16:17Speaker 3: the big leagues with Philly, Milwaukee, now Cleveland. He awaits
- 16:25Speaker 3: the 3-2. Here it comes. And strike three called. He's
- 16:31Speaker 3: out looking. But Patrick Bailey's blast has given Cleveland a
- 16:36Speaker 3: 3-0 lead. The bottom of the eighth is next. Hey,
- 16:39Speaker 3: Guardians fans, are you thinking of consolidating your debt with

- 18:37Speaker 3: Tim Heron facing Dylan Dingler. Bottom of the eighth, 3-0 Cleveland.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Dingler one for three with a double. Heron the lefties
- 18:46Speaker 3: pitch and a fastball wide and a challenge by Patrick
- 18:50Speaker 3: Bailey who hasn't been wrong yet. And he's wrong for
- 19:01Speaker 3: the first time. So that call stays. A ball outside.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Cleveland down to one last challenge. Detroit has both theirs.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Heron got the last down in the seventh. 3-0 Cleveland.
- 19:18Speaker 2: The pitch.
- 19:19Speaker 3: There's a called strike. One ball, one strike. The next offering,
- 19:35Speaker 3: shot foul outside of third. One ball, two strikes. So
- 19:43Speaker 3: Patrick Bailey today, three for four. Incorrectly getting calls overturned.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Reese Hoskins had a call overturned. So did Brian Rocchio.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Usually Cleveland's not this successful. Now the one-two to Dingler.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Fouled it back. We'll do it again at one and two.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Maybe they're Their best day of the year with the ABS.
- 20:14Speaker 2: The bar wasn't real high.
- 20:16Speaker 4: No, it wasn't.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Two right challenges might have been their best day. Baby steps.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Dingler and Dominic Canzone were teammates at Ohio State. He
- 20:26Speaker 3: drives this one high, deep to left. It's out of here.
- 20:31Speaker 3: And it's a 3-1 ballgame. Dylan Dingler, his team-high ninth
- 20:36Speaker 3: home run as he golfed one over the wall and left.
- 20:42Speaker 3: And the Tigers aren't going quietly. And how big now
- 20:47Speaker 3: is that Patrick Bailey home run? This will be the
- 20:51Speaker 3: last batter for Tim Herron. With a right-handed hitter on deck.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Left on left is Riley Green. 0 for 3 to
- 21:04Speaker 3: the plate. So 3-1 Cleveland, 8th inning. The pitch to Green.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Breaking ball and a beauty. Strike one called. Hands pelt high.
- 21:25Speaker 2: The pitch. Breaking ball waved at.
- 21:28Speaker 12: 0-2.
- 21:30Speaker 2: For Tim Herron, that's first home run. He's given up.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Came in with a 1-15 ERA. Now the 0-2 to Riley.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Green. Fouled it back. Will do it again. 0-2 on Green.
- 21:47Speaker 3: The league's top hitter with a. 333 mark has gone

- 24:03Speaker 3: The hard-throwing right-hander inherits a 3-1 lead with one out
- 24:07Speaker 3: in the Tiger 8. Hoyer, appearance number two. He's worked
- 24:12Speaker 3: two innings, giving up a run on three hits, two strikeouts,
- 24:15Speaker 3: and a walk. Tim Heron, two-thirds of an inning, gave

- 24:34Speaker 3: five and two-thirds, striking out six. Pinch hitter for Jemai Jones.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Fouling it off down the left side is Gage Workman.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Jemai Jones, a right-handed hitter, was 0 for 2 today.
- 24:53Speaker 3: Workman batting 185. The pitch fouled back in the count 0-2.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Goody Hoyer still throws pretty darn hard. Not as hard
- 25:12Speaker 3: as in his heyday with the White Sox, but still mid-90s.
- 25:16Speaker 3: Down the 0-2. Down and in, almost hit him. Looked
- 25:22Speaker 3: like he yanked a slider there, one and two. Fastball
- 25:25Speaker 3: slider change. Hoyer has been with the White Sox, Cubs, Texas,
- 25:33Speaker 3: even here in Detroit.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Last year. And now Cleveland.
- 25:40Speaker 3: He only pitched in three games in the big leagues
- 25:43Speaker 3: last year with Detroit and Texas most of the year
- 25:45Speaker 3: in AAA.
- 25:47Speaker 2: The one-two.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Got him swinging on a change-up in the dirt. Workman
- 25:52Speaker 3: is out number two. That'll bring up Spencer Torkelson. One
- 26:01Speaker 3: for three with a single. Boy, if they don't get
- 26:03Speaker 3: him going, Rose, I I wonder where the thump is
- 26:07Speaker 3: going to come from. They have to get 30 and 80.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Out of this guy. Homer's RBIs. Right hand to Bat.
- 26:17Speaker 2: The pitch. And he takes the strike.
- 26:21Speaker 4: You talked about it early in the series. The roller
- 26:23Speaker 4: coaster he's been on since reaching the major leagues. He's
- 26:25Speaker 4: had some good years, but other years, just can't get
- 26:29Speaker 4: it going. And this has started out that way. Pitch
- 26:33Speaker 4: leans him back.
- 26:34Speaker 7: Well.
- 26:35Speaker 3: It's been every other year, yeah. I mean, in 2023,
- 26:40Speaker 3: first ever Tiger before the age of 24 to go 30-30-90.
- 26:44Speaker 3: The pitch, that's high, 2-1. That was 30 homers, 30 doubles,
- 26:52Speaker 3: 90 RBIs. Then in 2024, he was so bad, he
- 26:56Speaker 3: went back to the minor leagues. Then he had a
- 26:58Speaker 3: big year last year.
- 27:00Speaker 4: Duh, 2-1.
- 27:01Speaker 3: High, 3-1. But he kind of mirrors what happened to
- 27:07Speaker 3: the Tigers last year. 21 homers, 59 RBIs at the
- 27:13Speaker 3: All-Star break. After the break, 10 homers, 19 RBIs.
- 27:18Speaker 2: The 3-1.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Swung on, socked high in the air to right, not deep.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Coming in toward the line, De Lauder, foul ground, retires Torkelson.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Cody Hoyer. It's the two he was asked to get.
- 27:33Speaker 3: Now we go to the ninth, 3-1 Cleveland here in Detroit.
- 27:37Speaker 3: This is the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
- 27:43Speaker 1: News Radio 570, WKBN, Youngstown.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Travis Pisano leads off tonight. Breaking ball strike from the left-hander,
- 27:58Speaker 3: Emmanuel DeJesus.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Left on left. 3-1 Cleveland. A rare game for Travis Bozzano.
- 28:06Speaker 3: 0-3.
- 28:06Speaker 2: The 0-1. And he waves at it. 0-2.
- 28:11Speaker 3: DeJesus got the final two outs in the eighth. He'll
- 28:18Speaker 3: work the ninth. Wondering if we see Hunter Gaddis to
- 28:25Speaker 3: try to get the save.
- 28:28Speaker 2: The set. The pitch.
- 28:31Speaker 3: High, one ball, two strikes. Yep, the big bearded one
- 28:36Speaker 3: is warming in the Cleveland pen. Cade Smith and Eric
- 28:41Speaker 3: Cebrowski both getting today off. Now the one-two to Bozzana.
- 28:48Speaker 3: Swing and a foul back. Travis was saying, you know,
- 28:52Speaker 3: in Australia at the end, he played both cricket and baseball.
- 28:55Speaker 3: He said, there are some similarities there, in the swing
- 29:00Speaker 3: or the stroke, however you want to phrase it. But
- 29:02Speaker 3: he goes mostly, the similarity is hand-eye coordination, the pitch.
- 29:09Speaker 3: And he takes down low, two and two, whether you're
- 29:13Speaker 3: hitting a cricket ball or a baseball. All about hand-eye coordination,
- 29:18Speaker 3: and boy, he has it. Now the 2-2 to Bozzano.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Waved at, struck him out. So that is out number
- 29:30Speaker 3: one here in the ninth. That'll bring up Angel Martinez.
- 29:33Speaker 3: He'll turn around bat right-handed. 0 for 3 today. If
- 29:38Speaker 3: you're just joining us, Cleveland three runs, six hits. Detroit
- 29:42Speaker 3: one run, five hits. A brilliant effort by Joey Cantillo.
- 29:48Speaker 3: Shut out Detroit over five and two-thirds.
- 29:53Speaker 2: The pitch.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Curve ball strike. Casey Mize retired the first eight Cleveland
- 29:59Speaker 3: hitters with two down in the top of the third.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Brian Rocchio pulled one off the top of the wall
- 30:06Speaker 3: in the right field corner.
- 30:08Speaker 2: A two-out double. The pitch. Fouled it back. Martinez almost
- 30:12Speaker 2: fell down. He swung so hard.
- 30:15Speaker 9: 0-2.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Daniel Schneeman followed with an RBI double to right. And
- 30:20Speaker 3: then Jose Ramirez followed with a two-out RBI single to
- 30:23Speaker 3: left center. They made it 2-0 in the third. Patrick Bailey,
- 30:28Speaker 3: his first home run with Cleveland. A towering solo blast
- 30:32Speaker 3: to right center in the eighth. Tigers only run in
- 30:35Speaker 3: the eighth. A Dylan Dingler bomb to left. 3-1 Cleveland,
- 30:39Speaker 3: ninth inning.
- 30:40Speaker 2: The pitch. Swung on. A weak chopper headed to second.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Good changeup.
- 30:46Speaker 3: And McKinstry throws out Martinez. Two down in the ninth.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Stephen Kwan, the batter.
- 30:52Speaker 9: 0-3.
- 30:54Speaker 3: In the bottom of the ninth, it's the bottom of
- 30:55Speaker 3: the order. And Detroit's out of pinch hitters. The only
- 31:00Speaker 3: guy left on their bench is backup catcher Jake Rogers,
- 31:04Speaker 3: and they won't use him as a pinch hitter. So
- 31:06Speaker 3: it'll be Perez Keith McKinstry in the bottom of the
- 31:09Speaker 3: ninth against Hunter Gattis. Now the pitch, and it backed
- 31:14Speaker 3: him off the play to fastball for ball one. 3-1 Cleveland,
- 31:22Speaker 3: two down, bases empty, ninth inning in Motown. The 1-0,
- 31:27Speaker 3: outside ball two, 2-0. Now the lefty wants a new baseball.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Biggest crowd of the series today, 25,687. Now the 2-0 pitch.
- 31:54Speaker 3: Outside 3-0. Since leaving the leadoff spot, this is game
- 32:01Speaker 3: six out of the top spot. Been on base 12 times.
- 32:05Speaker 3: Nine via the walk. The pitch in there.
- 32:10Speaker 8: 3-1.
- 32:13Speaker 3: But this guy is just very easy with his delivery
- 32:16Speaker 3: in its mid-90s. Doesn't look like DeJesus is throwing that hard.
- 32:21Speaker 2: The 3-1.
- 32:24Speaker 3: Swung on, grounded up the middle, near second. The shortstop
- 32:27Speaker 3: McGonigal throws out Kwon. It's up to Hunter Gattis as
- 32:31Speaker 3: he will try to get his first save of the year.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Bottom of the ninth coming up, 3-1 Cleveland.
- 32:40Speaker 5: Hi, Max the Bald Eagle from Marathon here. We asked
- 32:43Speaker 5: people if they could do an impression of me.

- 33:47Speaker 13: team's hopes decided by a ping pong ball to draft
- 33:49Speaker 13: the next superstar.
- 33:51Speaker 3: Or not.
- 33:53Speaker 13: I mean, sure, it's silly for your happiness to hinge
- 33:55Speaker 13: on the success of a 20-year-old entry-level employee, but you.
- 33:57Speaker 8: Just can't help yourself.
- 33:58Speaker 13: The stress is exhilarating. Progressive can't bring people together like

- 34:36Speaker 3: Hunter Gattis will try to get his first save of
- 34:39Speaker 3: the campaign. He'll work the ninth inning, 3-1 Cleveland. Two-thirds
- 34:44Speaker 3: of a scoreless inning by Cody Hoyer. Gattis, one win,
- 34:48Speaker 3: 573 ERA, 15th outing, but he's getting sharper now since
- 34:53Speaker 3: the injury. Fastball slider change. Wincel Perez batting left-handed, takes
- 35:00Speaker 3: a strike on a good slider. Perez 0 for 3.
- 35:06Speaker 3: This is the fifth relief pitcher to work.
- 35:10Speaker 2: They 0-1. In the dirt, changeup, 1-1.
- 35:20Speaker 3: If Cleveland wins this game, this is one of those
- 35:23Speaker 3: huge wins for a club. Not because it's a sweep,
- 35:27Speaker 3: but a day where you potentially have five different relievers.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Work to get a win. Some of these guys not
- 35:35Speaker 3: normally in this role.
- 35:37Speaker 2: The pitch. A swing and a foul back. 1-2.
- 35:42Speaker 3: No Cebrowski. No Cade Smith. No Colin Holderman today. So really,
- 35:48Speaker 3: Cleveland at the moment is down to their last bullpen arm.
- 35:51Speaker 3: It's been Festa, Armstrong, Heron, Hoyer, now Gattis. The 1-2.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Swing and a foul back over the screen into the
- 36:03Speaker 3: home plate seating area. Still a ball and two strikes.
- 36:07Speaker 4: Went over the last three years with these great bullpens. Yes,
- 36:10Speaker 4: there have been outstanding closers, but it's been the depth
- 36:13Speaker 4: that's really been a huge key.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Now the 1-2. Swing and a little pop-up.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Shallow right, DeLauder coming in, the right fielder, and shallow
- 36:25Speaker 3: right retiring Perez, one down. Boy, the Tigers have to
- 36:30Speaker 3: be wondering what the heck is going on. Cleveland has
- 36:34Speaker 3: dominated them in this series. The Tigers have scored three
- 36:39Speaker 3: runs in one game, two runs in two of the games,
- 36:43Speaker 3: two runs each game, one run today. Here's Colt Keith,
- 36:49Speaker 3: walked his only time up, left-handed hitter, the pitch, and
- 36:55Speaker 3: it's in there, a called strike, 95 miles an hour.
- 37:01Speaker 3: That's eight runs for Detroit in this series. They've never
- 37:06Speaker 3: had more than seven hits in a game. The pitch,
- 37:09Speaker 3: high and wide. In fact, the Tigers, five hits today.
- 37:15Speaker 3: Three of the games they've had five hits. One of
- 37:18Speaker 3: the games, seven. That is some kind of pitching by Cleveland.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Now the 1-1.
- 37:24Speaker 7: Outside, 2-1-1.
- 37:29Speaker 3: If they are able to pull this off a sweep,
- 37:35Speaker 3: and you hold the Tigers to an average of two
- 37:38Speaker 3: runs and five hits a game, well, that is beyond
- 37:42Speaker 3: what you could have expected. The pitch, swing, and a miss.
- 37:46Speaker 3: Moved that fastball in on the hands, Colt Keith. Now
- 37:50Speaker 3: with a 2-2 count, one out, ninth inning, 3-1 Cleveland.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Keith took a little stroll. Now he climbs back in.
- 38:03Speaker 3: Gattis the set. And the pitch. Swing and a foul upstairs.
- 38:08Speaker 3: Will do it again at 2-2. Hunter Gattis out of
- 38:12Speaker 3: Georgia State University. Fifth round pick by Cleveland in 2019.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Was the starter. But has found his niche in the pen.
- 38:24Speaker 2: The 2-2. Strike! Three called!
- 38:28Speaker 3: He took a 95-mile-an-hour fastball.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Two down.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Mesa's empty. Zach McKinstry, the batter. He struck out his
- 38:43Speaker 3: only time up. Think the Tigers are sick of seeing
- 38:47Speaker 3: the Guardians?
- 38:48Speaker 2: Absolutely. Three to one, Cleveland. Two down in the ninth.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Here's the pitch.
- 38:56Speaker 3: Swung on line drive, leaping attempt by Bazzano over his
- 38:59Speaker 3: head at second. Fielded in right by De Lauder, Tigers
- 39:03Speaker 3: have life. Matt Bierling the batter after the two-out single
- 39:07Speaker 3: to right by Zach McKinstry. Now the tying run to
- 39:11Speaker 3: the plate and Bierling has four homers. 0 for 3
- 39:15Speaker 3: with a walk. He bats with two down, a runner
- 39:19Speaker 3: on Cleveland with a 3-1 advantage. Behrling has struck out twice,
- 39:25Speaker 3: grounded out, walked in the series two for 13. with
- 39:30Speaker 3: a home run. Righty-righty matchup. The set and delivery. And
- 39:36Speaker 3: it's a touch inside, a changeup. Patrick Bailey says, why
- 39:43Speaker 3: not take another challenge?
- 39:45Speaker 2: We lose it, who cares? They win it!
- 39:51Speaker 3: Bailey is four for five in challenges today.
- 39:56Speaker 12: Wow.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Nothing and one the count on Matt Veerling. The set
- 40:03Speaker 3: and the 0-1 to Veerling. Swing and a foul on
- 40:08Speaker 3: a play to the right.
- 40:09Speaker 2: 0-2. And getting a change-up strike.
- 40:15Speaker 3: Now has the hitter with that in the back of
- 40:18Speaker 3: his mind knowing it's not just fastball slider anymore from
- 40:22Speaker 3: Hunter Gaddis. Hoskins behind the runner at first to pitch.
- 40:29Speaker 3: Swing and a drive foul down the right side will
- 40:31Speaker 3: do it again. Nothing into the count. Tigers down to
- 40:36Speaker 3: their last strike. Cleveland with a 3-1 lead in the ninth.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Two down, a runner at first. Hunter Gattis pounding the
- 40:47Speaker 3: strike zone. He sets. He fires.
- 40:52Speaker 2: And Verling waves at it.
- 40:54Speaker 3: Ball game. Gattis with a strikeout. Cleveland with a four-game sweep.
- 41:01Speaker 3: And they've now won six in a row. And they
- 41:05Speaker 3: have pushed the Tigers nine and a half games out
- 41:08Speaker 3: of first. Cleveland wins it today in the Motor City.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Three to one.
- 41:16Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN, Youngstown.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Well, welcome back to Comerica Park here in downtown Detroit.
- 41:32Speaker 3: We've said it time and again, it's always hard to
- 41:35Speaker 3: sweep a team in a series. Normally, though, you're talking
- 41:39Speaker 3: about trying to sweep a team. in a three-game series,
- 41:43Speaker 3: but to come into this ballpark and sweep a four-game
- 41:47Speaker 3: series and in the process hold the Detroit Tigers to
- 41:53Speaker 3: eight runs in the four games is just incredible pitching
- 41:58Speaker 3: by Cleveland. And then you add that stunning comeback last night,
- 42:04Speaker 3: tying the game in the ninth, winning the game in
- 42:06Speaker 3: the tenth, and obviously winning Cleveland is on its best
- 42:10Speaker 3: stretch of the year. They've now won six in a row,
- 42:14Speaker 3: nine out of ten. They're suddenly 30-22. And all of
- 42:20Speaker 3: a sudden, Cleveland's record puts them with the third-best mark
- 42:25Speaker 3: in the American League, only behind the Yankees and Tampa Bay.
- 42:29Speaker 3: And the Guardians at the moment with a three-and-a-half game
- 42:32Speaker 3: lead over the White Sox and for Detroit. They have
- 42:36Speaker 3: now fallen 11 games under. 500 and nine and a
- 42:40Speaker 3: half games out of first. They head to Baltimore. Cleveland
- 42:44Speaker 3: heads to Philadelphia. Here are your final numbers. It is
- 42:50Speaker 3: Cleveland three runs, six hits, no errors, four left. Detroit
- 42:54Speaker 3: one run, six hits, no errors, nine stranded. Joey Cantillo
- 42:59Speaker 3: the win. He was magnificent. Shutout ball through five and two-thirds.
- 43:03Speaker 3: He's four and one. Hunter Gattis, a dominant ninth inning
- 43:07Speaker 3: with his first save of the year. Casey Mize pitched
- 43:10Speaker 3: well but lost. He is 3-3.
- 43:12Speaker 2: Time of the game, 2 hours 40 minutes. The attendance, 25,687. Cleveland,
- 43:14Speaker 2: now with a record of 30-22. Tigers, now 20-31. Stay tuned.
