Happy Reese Olson returns from his rehab assignment day to all those who celebrate! Oh, is there another holiday today? I was unaware. The Tigers were in Cleveland, hoping to shake off the bad vibes of their series loss in Washington, and turning to their newly restored starter to do it. The Guardians, meanwhile, were hoping Slade Cecconi would help them best their division rivals.
Colt Keith got the first inning started with a single, then Riley Greene got a two-out walk. A Spencer Torkelson single loaded up the bases, but the Tigers left them all stranded. With two outs in the home half, certified Tiger-killer Jose Ramirez did what he does best, and made a Tigers pitcher look silly, hitting a solo homer to put the Guardians on the board first.
