Another Good Night for Cleveland in Detroit
that was fun. Let's do it again
DETROIT, MICHIGAN - MAY 18: José Ramírez #11 of the Cleveland Guardians high-fives teammates after hitting a solo home run against the Detroit Tigers during the top of the ninth inning at Comerica Park on May 18, 2026 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Guardians dominated the Tigers tonight, winning 8-2. The game began inauspiciously with a Riley Greene double giving Detroit an early 1-0 lead.
But, Cleveland went to work on Tigers’ starter Framber Valdez in the 3rd. Brayan Rocchio tripled "I just like watching Rocchio swing the bat" is a sentence I never thought I'd say not too long ago — Sips (Nice) (@niceofbencia) May 18, 2026 Angel Matthew grounded out, then Jose walked… the Chase DeLauter grounded out just softly enough to score Angel and force Jose out at second. Then Rhys Hoskins stepped in to deliver the go-ahead double: Rhys puts us ahead!

no that’s too many consecutive hits framber is gonna get his feelings hurt — ali (@alisonrae22) May 19, 2026 Slade Cecconi continued to get Tigers out quickly, while the Guardians played with fire and scored another couple runs off Valdez in the fifth on a Rocchio walk, an Angel Martinez single, and a Jose single… followed by a DeLauter grounder and a Hoskins sacrifice fly. Goodbye, Framber. See ya later.
