Tigers Down Guardians, 6-5
In a tight contest at Briggs Stadium, the Detroit Tigers edged the Cleveland Guardians by the score of 6-5 in 10 innings. Detroit first baseman Eddie Robinson, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. The win went to Jake Wade in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Hi Bithorn took the loss. The loss has the Guardians at 4-6.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the tenth. With Detroit trailing 5-3, Robinson jumped on a fastball from 30-year old right-handed pitcher Hi Bithorn and hit a 3-run home run to right. With one swing, the Tigers had a walk-off win.

"I still think this team can play even better," Robinson told the Detroit Times.
