Overview
- Cleveland jumped ahead 2-0 in the first on Steven Kwan’s leadoff homer and Bo Naylor’s sacrifice fly at Target Field.
- Brooks Lee flipped the game with a two-run homer off Matt Festa in the sixth, and Royce Lewis delivered a three-run pinch-hit shot off Hunter Gaddis in the eighth.
- A day after the bullpen threw 15 scoreless innings in a doubleheader sweep, Cleveland’s relievers yielded the decisive long balls.
- The loss ended the Guardians’ 10-game winning streak, left them one back of Detroit in the AL Central, and dropped them out of a share of the final AL wild-card spot.
- Cleveland returns home Tuesday to open a three-game series against the Tigers, with Gavin Williams slated to face Tarik Skubal.
