The Detroit Tigers put on a fireworks show of their own for the Fourth of July in a series-opening doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians at home which saw the good guys pull off a 4-1 early win followed by a 5-3 victory in the nightcap. Garrett Hill made his major league debut in the opening game and it was a beauty as he became the first pitcher in Tigers history to toss six or more innings while allowing two hits or fewer to earn the win in his first big league appearance.
The second matchup, however, saw Alex Faedo leave the game early with right hip soreness, but it appears that he will be ok ahead of being sent back down to Toledo.
