Tigers Near ALCS After Game 3 Win

The Detroit Tigers are one game away from advancing to the American League Championship Series after defeating the Cleveland Guardians 3-0 in Game 3 of the AL Division Series. This marks the first time in a decade that the Tigers have hosted a postseason game, drawing a record crowd at Comerica Park. Detroit's success hinged on strategic pitcher rotations, using six pitchers to maintain a shutout, while Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson contributed crucial RBIs. Brant Hurter and Beau Brieske provided key scoreless innings, and the Tigers' unconventional pitching strategy, managed by A.J. Hinch, effectively neutralized Cleveland's offense, which has not scored in 20 consecutive innings. A win in Game 4 would send Detroit to their first ALCS since 2013.
