DETROIT (Interstat) — The Cleveland Guardians scored twice in the 10th inning and held off a late Detroit Tigers rally to win 3-2 on Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park, completing a three-game sweep and extending their winning streak to four games.

The Guardians, who entered the day with a 28-22 record, improved to 29-22. The Tigers fell to 20-30.

The game remained scoreless through six innings as starters Tanner Bibee for Cleveland and Brant Hurter for Detroit traded zeroes. Bibee allowed three hits over six shutout innings with four strikeouts and no walks. Hurter worked five innings of three-hit ball, fanning six and walking two.

Detroit broke through in the seventh against Cleveland reliever Tim Herrin. Kevin McGonigle drew a leadoff walk, moved to third on a single by Riley Greene and scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Matt Vierling, giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead.

Cleveland answered in the ninth off Tigers closer Tyler Holton. Daniel Schneemann led off with a single, and pinch-hitter Travis Bazzana followed with a single to put runners at first and second. Steven Kwan sacrificed both runners into scoring position. Patrick Bailey then grounded out to second base, scoring Schneemann and tying the game 1-1. Bazzana moved to third on the play but was stranded when Brayan Rocchio struck out.

The game moved to extra innings, and the Guardians struck quickly in the top of the 10th. With the automatic runner on second, Angel Martínez tripled to right field off Holton, scoring Rocchio and giving Cleveland a 2-1 lead. José Ramírez followed with a double to center, scoring Martínez to make it 3-1.

Cleveland added another run when Chase DeLauter reached on a fielder’s choice, but Ramírez was thrown out trying to advance to third. Kyle Manzardo struck out and Schneemann grounded out to end the inning.

Detroit mounted a comeback in the bottom of the 10th against Guardians reliever Colin Holderman. With the automatic runner at second, Zach McKinstry singled to right, scoring the runner and cutting the lead to 3-2. Holderman then struck out Hao-Yu Lee, got Spencer Torkelson to pop out, and induced a pop-out from Colt Keith to end the game.

Holderman earned the win, improving to 2-0. He pitched two-thirds of an inning, allowing one run on one hit with two strikeouts. Cade Smith recorded the save, his 16th of the season, by pitching a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts.

Holton took the loss, falling to 0-4. He allowed three runs on five hits over two innings of relief, striking out two.

Cleveland finished with eight hits, led by DeLauter, who went 2-for-4 with a walk. Ramírez went 1-for-5 with an RBI double, and Bazzana went 1-for-2 as a pinch-hitter and later played second base. Schneemann went 1-for-5, and Kwan went 1-for-2 with a walk and a sacrifice bunt.

Detroit managed five hits. McKinstry singled twice, including the RBI hit in the 10th. Greene singled in the seventh, and Jake Rogers singled in the third. The Tigers struck out 11 times.

The game lasted 2 hours, 44 minutes in front of an announced crowd of 20,450.

The sweep continued a hot stretch for Cleveland, which has won four in a row and eight of its last 10. The Guardians outscored the Tigers 15-7 in the three-game series. Detroit, meanwhile, has lost six of its last seven.

Cleveland now heads to Philadelphia for a three-game series against the Phillies beginning Friday. Detroit returns home to face the Baltimore Orioles on Friday.

The most critical sequence of the game came in the top of the 10th inning. With the score tied 1-1 and the automatic runner on second, Cleveland quickly seized control. Martínez’s triple to right field off Holton was the decisive blow, driving in Rocchio and putting the Guardians ahead. Ramírez’s double immediately followed, giving Cleveland a two-run cushion that proved essential when Detroit answered with a run in the bottom of the inning. Holderman’s ability to limit the damage to one run and Smith’s clean ninth inning — which included a strikeout of Riley Greene to start the frame — were also pivotal, as Cleveland’s bullpen held firm in the final two frames.

The game also featured several defensive highlights. In the sixth inning, Detroit second baseman Hao-Yu Lee singled but was caught straying off second base on the play, with shortstop Rocchio throwing to second baseman Bazzana for the out. In the eighth, a throwing error by Bazzana allowed a Tiger baserunner to reach, but Cleveland escaped the inning unscathed when Colt Keith lined out to Rocchio.

Cleveland’s lineup, which had struggled to produce early against Hurter, finally broke through in the ninth against Holton, who had entered the game with a 0.53 ERA over his previous 10 appearances. The Guardians’ patience at the plate was rewarded with five walks in the game, including two drawn by Martínez and one each by Fry, Kwan and DeLauter.

For Detroit, the loss wasted a strong start by Hurter and an efficient relief outing by left-hander Andrew Chafin, who pitched a scoreless eighth inning. The Tigers’ offense, which entered the game averaging just over three runs per game on the season, failed to deliver the clutch hit when needed, leaving four runners on base and going 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position.

The outcome fell short of Interstat’s game simulator projection, which had forecast a 6-2 Cleveland victory. Interstat’s ELO system gave Cleveland a 53.70 percent probability to win. The Guardians were installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of minus-1.5 runs. The total score of five runs went under the over/under line of 7.5.
