The Guardians and Tigers had a bye on Monday; both have losing records, but in the most open wild-card race in the AL in recent years, the two Central Division rivals still have a playoff berth within reach.
The Guards are struggling; it was a key series with a chance to challenge the division-leading White Sox in Chicago, but they lost the series despite winning the first game. They had also been swept at Progressive Field by the Mets. Their downfall has been allowing opponents to have very long innings while they struggle to bring baserunners home. Manager Vogt urged his players to relax, saying they are trying to be "too perfect."
Meanwhile, die-hard Tigers fans are living a post-Skubal reality, as he was traded to the Dodgers, but they also ended up getting rid of Mize. The Tigers took a 3-1 victory in extra innings on Sunday against the Giants in San Francisco despite managing only six hits.

In 2026, the Guardians won all six of their games against the Giants; the last five of those were low-scoring games that Cleveland narrowly won.
Tanner Bibee, who will pitch on Tuesday, had two of his best starts this year against Detroit, pitching eight innings on May 20 and June 12, despite allowing two home runs. He struck out eight Tigers in a game the Guards won 3-2.
