Guardians Beat Tigers, Force Wild Card

The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Detroit Tigers 6-1 on October 1, 2025, to even their American League Wild Card Series at one game apiece. Despite a promising start to the series with a 2-1 victory in Game 1, the Tigers were unable to secure a sweep. The original report from The Detroit News, published before the game, noted that the Tigers were on the verge of sweeping the series.

The Guardians secured their win with a five-run rally in the eighth inning, which included home runs by Brayan Rocchio and Bo Naylor. The Tigers' offense struggled, leaving 15 runners on base and going 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position. The series now moves to a deciding Game 3, with the winner advancing to the AL Division Series to play the Seattle Mariners.
