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.
