CLEVELAND — The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians are tied for the AL Central lead after Cleveland’s 5-2 victory, highlighted by a bizarre sixth inning featuring two bunts and an unusual error by Tarik Skubal. Despite Skubal’s strong performance, the Tigers faltered offensively, allowing Cleveland to rally and take the lead, with 19 strikeouts marking a rough night for Detroit’s hitters as they face a critical stretch with playoff implications.
