Overview

• Kerry Carpenter tied the game with a two-out, pinch-hit homer off Cade Smith in the ninth, sending it to extras.
• The Guardians opened the 10th with four straight extra-base hits — Steven Kwan double, Ángel Martínez triple, José Ramírez double, Kyle Manzardo double — plus a Gabriel Arias RBI single, a rare extra-inning flurry noted as their first such four-XBH frame since 1961.
• Detroit answered with a Spencer Torkelson two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th but fell short, 7-5.
• The loss left the Tigers with a 5½-game lead over the Guardians, with 11 games remaining, including five more head-to-head; Cleveland has won 10 of its last 11.
• Tigers reliever Will Vest took the loss after the 10th-inning damage, and ace Tarik Skubal said he came through a bullpen session well and is tentatively lined up to start Thursday’s finale.
