Tigers Lead Guardians 2-1 in ALDS

The Cleveland Guardians are facing elimination in the ALDS after trailing the Detroit Tigers 2-1 in the series, having lost back-to-back games without scoring a run in 20 innings. The Guardians' offense has been a significant concern, as they have struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities, going 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position in their recent Game 3 loss. In contrast, the Tigers have shown strength, with Riley Greene leading the team offensively and their pitching keeping Cleveland's bats quiet. The stakes are high for the Guardians, who must win Game 4 to stay in the postseason, as their pitching has largely performed well despite the offensive woes. Meanwhile, the Tigers are excited to return to postseason baseball after a decade, with their fans expected to create a vibrant atmosphere. The matchup highlights the pressure on Cleveland to rebound and avoid being eliminated from the playoffs.
