Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Guardians and MLB
Digest more
The Detroit Tigers have been the best team in baseball despite a string of injuries, but they got good news on the health front Friday.
No team in MLB has more wins than the Detroit Tigers' 31. But teams that reach 30 wins first aren't always the last team standing in October.
Tanner Bibee tossed seven impressive innings to help lead the Cleveland Guardians to a 7-0 win over the host Detroit Tigers on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series.
On Saturday, Cleveland won its fifth straight game against the Tigers between regular season and postseason play. Amazingly, the Guardians' 7–5 10-inning victory tied the all-time series at 1,161 games apiece. Sunday is the rubber match, and as all baseball fans know, the six best words in sports are Game Two Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Five.
It felt like the Tigers were waiting around to die Saturday night. Finally, in the 10th inning, the Guardians obliged them.
