The Cleveland Guardians are not playing up to standard lately.
The Detroit Tigers took three of four against the AL Central leading Guardians and the Minnesota Twins are just 4.5 GB now.
ESPN Baseball analyst Tim Kurkjian joins UCSS to discuss the team's recent struggles, Jose Ramirez's MVP candidacy, the team's #1 pick in Sunday's MLB Draft & much much more.
Andy Ibáñez homered his first two times up and drove in four runs and Ryan Vilade got his first major league hit and three RBI in his debut for Detroit, leading the Tigers to an 11-7 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night.
Ibáñez homered on the third pitch of the game from Logan Allen and added a three-run shot in the second. Ibáñez hit a double in the eighth inning and finished 4 for 4 with a walk and four runs.
Vilade, who was recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Toledo, singled home two runs in the third off Pedro Avila (1-1) and another in the seventh to put the Tigers up 9-7. His first plate appearance with Colorado in 2021 and his first hit as a major leaguer came 963 days apart.
“It was long," said the 25-year-old, who had the ball from his first hit and three other game balls on a shelf in his locker.
Although Vilade didn't make Detroit's opening-day roster, he didn't get discouraged. He went to the minors and worked on his game, recently adding a leg kick to help his timing at the plate.
