Cleveland — The baseball hasn’t much bounced the Tigers’ way this season. But it did Tuesday in their 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians.
Guardians manager Terry Francona and center fielder Myles Straw were ejected in a wild bottom of the ninth.
Down 4-3, rookie Tyler Freeman led off the bottom of the ninth with a ringing double to left field off closer Gregory Soto. He was bunted to third by Austin Hedges. Soto struck out Straw on a foul tip that catcher Tucker Barnhart caught.
The initial call by home plate ump Lance Barksdale was foul ball.
