The Cleveland Guardians dropped their series opener against the Detroit Tigers by a score of 0-1, as their batters were completely shut down by a suddenly unforgiving Tigers’ pitching corp. Eyeing to level the series at 1-1, the Guardians will send Ben Lively (8-4, 3.14 ERA with 67 strikeouts) to the mound, hoping to restore order. The Tigers will try to counter it by designating Kenta Maeda (2-5, 6.71 ERA with 48 strikeouts) as their starter. The Guardians, who own the 9th best run totals in MLB at 436, failed to reach home for the first time since losing to the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-0, last June 15. Cleveland recorded only three hits and a walk on Monday as they fell to 56-33 this season, which remains the best record in the American League Central. The Tigers, meanwhile, enhanced their record to 43-48, but they are still trailing the Guardians by 14 games.
