Patrick Bailey had a solo homer while Brayan Rocchio had three hits, including two doubles, and the visiting Cleveland Guardians won their sixth straight, a 3-1 triumph over the slumping Detroit Tigers on Thursday.
Daniel Scheemann and Jose Ramirez knocked in the other runs for the Guardians, who completed a four-game series sweep while winning for the ninth time in their last 10 games. The Tigers have lost six straight and 14 of their last 16.
Starter Joey Cantillo (4-1) gave up three hits and three walks and struck out six in 5 2/3 innings. Hunter Gaddis pitched the ninth for his first save this season.
Detroit starter Casey Mize (2-3) gave up two runs and four hits without a walk while striking out five in 6 2/3 innings. Dillon Dingler hit a solo homer for the Tigers' lone run.
Detroit loaded the bases in the first on Kevin McGonigle's single, Dingler's double and Jahmai Jones' two-out walk. Cantillo escaped the jam as Spencer Torkelson flied out to end the inning.
The Guardians scored a pair of two-out runs in the third after Mize retired the first eight batters. Rocchio slashed a double to right and Schneemann dropped a double near the right-field line to bring him home. Ramirez followed with a run-scoring single.
After their threat in the first, the Tigers failed to have two baserunners in the same inning. Zack Short got his first hit of the season, a single, with two out in the second. McGonigle drew a leadoff walk in the third and Matt Vierling worked out a free pass in the fifth. Torkelson slapped an opposite-field single with two out in the sixth and pinch-hitter Colt Keith had a leadoff walk in the seventh.
Bailey blasted a Burch Smith fastball over the right-field wall leading off the eighth for his second homer this season.
Dingler put Detroit on the board with his ninth homer leading off the bottom of the eighth.
