View Date:2025-01-11 22:41:48
DETROIT — Back to Cleveland they go.
For one more game.
Winner takes all.
The Cleveland Guardians beat the Detroit Tigers, 5-4, on Thursday night in Game 4 of the ALDS, tying the series and setting up a clench-your-teeth, hold-your-breath series finale. These two teams will play in Game 5 Saturday at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
The good news for the Tigers? They will start Tarik Skubal – arguably the best pitcher in the American League.

In many ways, this was a wasted opportunity for the Tigers. They were playing at home, in front of a packed house of 44,923, with no pressure. Cleveland had its back to the wall, in a must-win game.
And the Tigers looked like they were in a great position, taking a 3-2 lead into the seventh.
But with two outs in the seventh inning, David Fry hit a two-run homer off Beau Brieske, giving the Guardians a 4-3 lead.
Then, in the ninth, Fry put down a perfect bunt on a safety squeeze, as Cleveland added another run.
