Overview

• Brayan Rocchio launched a go-ahead solo homer to start Cleveland’s five-run eighth inning, with four of the runs charged to Tigers reliever Troy Melton.
• A.J. Hinch pinch-hit Jahmai Jones for Riley Greene in the seventh with runners on the corners based on splits favoring Jones against left-handers.
• Jones saw seven straight curveballs from Tim Herrin and struck out, and Detroit stranded both runners in a 1-1 game.
• The Tigers went 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position in Game 2 and are 2-for-23 in the series.
• Guardians manager Stephen Vogt praised Herrin’s outing, and the Tigers said Spencer Torkelson’s postgame X-ray on his right foot was negative.
