McGonigle Drives in Three to Lead Tigers Past Guardians 6-4
The AL Central rivals meet for the seventh time, with Cleveland leading the season series 6-0 and Tanner Bibee facing Drew Anderson.
On Tuesday, the Detroit Tigers host the Cleveland Guardians at 6:40 p.m. to open a three-game Central series, with Tanner Bibee starting for Cleveland and Drew Anderson taking the mound for Detroit.
The Guardians hold a 6-0 advantage in the season series against Detroit. Cleveland enters with a 58-61 record in fourth place, while the Tigers sit third at 58-60 in the Central.
Spencer Torkelson has recorded 17 hits in his last 10 games for Detroit, while Cleveland's Steven Kwan also tallied 17 hits over the same span. Dillon Dingler leads the Tigers with 26 home runs and 80 RBIs.
Chicago White Sox pitcher Hagen Smith made his MLB debut on Sunday, pitching two scoreless innings in a rain-delayed appearance. Manager Will Venable said the situation was "challenging," praising Smith's resilience in earning his first career win.
Smith's role for the remainder of the season remains uncertain as Chicago fights for a playoff spot for the first time in five years. His dominant debut, despite walking four batters, suggests he may stay in the major leagues sooner rather than later.
