Guardians Roll Past Tigers in Dominant 7-0 Win, Extend Winning Streak to 5
The Cleveland Guardians are on fire! They continued their hot streak on Tuesday, blanking the Detroit Tigers 7-0 in the series opener. It's the fifth straight win for the Guardians, solidifying their spot in the AL Central race.
The Guardians' offense was relentless, racking up 14 hits, including home runs from José Ramírez and Amed Rosario. Ramírez's two-run shot in the 4th inning gave the Guardians a 4-0 lead, effectively putting the game out of reach. Rosario added a solo shot in the 5th, giving the Guardians a comfortable 6-0 advantage.
Dominant Pitching Performance
The pitching performance from the Guardians was equally impressive. Triston McKenzie, the starter, tossed 6 strong innings, allowing just 3 hits and striking out 7 Tigers batters. He was supported by a stellar bullpen effort, with Sam Hentges, Eli Morgan, and Nick Sandlin each contributing a scoreless inning.
Tigers Struggles Continue
The Tigers, on the other hand, are struggling mightily. They have now lost 7 of their last 10 games and are showing no signs of turning things around. Their offense was anemic, only managing 4 hits against the Guardians' dominant pitching staff. The Tigers' starting pitcher, Michael Lorenzen, was tagged for 5 runs in 3.2 innings.
