CLEVELAND—The Cleveland Guardians dropped a heartbreaking 7-2, 10-inning decision to the Detroit Tigers Sunday afternoon at Progressive Field, stretching their skid to 10 straight losses and completing Detroit’s first sweep on the lakefront since 2015. H2: Ninth-Inning Misfire Opens the Door Closer Emmanuel Clase appeared one strike away from sealing a 1-0 victory when a slider skipped past catcher Bo Naylor, allowing Zach McKinstry to charge home with the tying run. The miscue erased eight shutout innings from rookie right-hander Gavin Williams (8 K, 1 H) and swung the momentum squarely to Detroit. H2: Tigers Pounce in Extras With the automatic runner on second, Detroit erupted for six runs off Cade Smith in the 10th. Shortstop Trey Sweeney delivered the dagger, drilling a three-run homer to left. Moments later, Riley Greene launched a two-run blast, and Matt Vierling punctuated the rally with an RBI double. H2: Skubal Stifles Guardians—Again Tigers ace Tarik Skubal improved to 11-2 by spinning seven scoreless frames with 10 strikeouts, dropping his season ERA to 2.02. The left-hander has now fanned 23 Guardians in his last two starts against them. H2: Lone Bright Spots for Cleveland • Steven Kwan stayed scorching, going 3-for-4 with the go-ahead RBI double in the eighth and a sacrifice fly in the 10th. • Williams notched his sixth quality start, leaning on a wipeout curveball to keep Detroit hitless until the fifth. • Attendance reached 30,953, the club’s largest Sunday crowd of the season.
