The Cleveland Guardians did just enough to sneak past the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, at Cleveland Stadium. Cleveland pitcher Hal Newhouser, in particular, had a standout performance. Today's win puts Cleveland at 16-27, while Detroit falls to 27-16.

Hoot Evers was the walk-off hero for Cleveland. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Guardians center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I hope this win gives us a jumpstart," said Evers.
