Guardians Unable to Maintain Momentum in Wild Card Series Loss to Tigers
The Guardians ended their season after batting just .178 in the series and losing key closer Emmanuel Clase to paid leave amid an MLB sports betting probe.
- On Thursday, the Detroit Tigers defeated the Cleveland Guardians 6-3 in the deciding Game 3 of the AL Wild Card Series as Dillon Dingler hit a go-ahead, solo homer in the sixth.
- Earlier this year, the Cleveland Guardians' workload was a residual effect of the July 28 loss of All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase to paid leave, with Smith assuming his role.
- The Guardians' bullpen struggled late, with Erik Sabrowski and Hunter Gaddis surrendering four runs in 2/3 of an inning, while their offense batted just.178 with 16 hits after a.226 regular season.
- The Tigers punched their ticket to the ALDS with the Game 3 victory, ending the Guardians' postseason one year after reaching the AL Championship Series as José Ramírez and Steven Kwan vowed to improve.
- Despite staging the largest in-season comeback, Cleveland’s offense showed inconsistency—scoring five runs in Game 2, matching their total from the other 26 innings, leading to an early playoff exit.
