A Tough Outing in Cleveland 
Well, Tigers fans, it was a rough night for our boys in Cleveland. As much as we had hoped to see our team build on its recent momentum, the beautiful game of baseball can sometimes humble us, and tonight was one of those nights. The final score of 6-1 in favor of the Cleveland Guardians surely stings, but there were still some moments worth noting. Let's break down how it all went down.Guardians Edge Ahead Early 
The game started with a glimpse of promise as Parker Meadows reached base on an infield single, and an error by Cleveland's center fielder Chase DeLauter allowed Gleyber Torres to get aboard. Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize on this opportunity since both Kerry Carpenter, Spencer Torkelson, and Riley Greene went down on strikes. The Guardians quickly took the lead with a solo home run by George Valera, giving them a 1-0 advantage. But we Tigers fans remained hopeful for a comeback. 
Hope Flickers in the Fourth Inning 
The fourth inning finally saw some action for us! Riley Greene set the stage with a solid double to right field. After a couple of outs, Javier Baez stepped up with a clutch single to center, allowing Greene to cross the plate and tie the game at one apiece. It was a brief but exhilarating moment of hope for the Detroit faithful! 
The Guardians Break Away in Eighth 
Tied at 1-1 going into the eighth, anticipation hung in the air. However, our bullpen couldn't contain the Guardians. Brayan Rocchio hit a solo homer, which was quickly followed by Daniel Schneemann's double to bring home Steven Kwan. Then, Bo Naylor delivered the crushing blow with a three-run homer, putting the Guardians comfortably ahead 6-1.The Final Push Falls Short 
We tried to rally in the ninth, with Kerry Carpenter drawing a walk and Spencer Torkelson reaching base after being hit by a pitch. But Justyn-Henry Malloy couldn’t convert the opportunity into runs, and Wenceel Perez's efforts were similarly thwarted by a defensive mishap on Cleveland's part. Alas, Dillon Dingler lined out to first to seal the Guardians' victory.As disappointing as tonight's game might have been, let's keep our heads high and remember there's always the next game to exact some timely revenge! Go Tigers!
