It was looking like the Tigers may not even need the fifth game when they took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning of Game 4, but the advantage was quickly lost when David Fry launched a home run into the stands to give the Guardians a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning. The Tigers fought back by getting runners on base in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, but only could manage one run as the Guardians held on for a 5-4 win.

The good news for the Tigers is they will have their ace, Tarik Skubal, on the mound Saturday, with his battery mate Jake Rogers set to play despite having to undergo an X-ray on his left wrist after taking multiple foul tips right above the glove.
