Javier Baez's three-run homer in the second inning was all that six Detroit Tigers pitchers needed to beat the host Cleveland Guardians 3-0 on Thursday and split the four-game set.

Injuries within their starting rotation forced the Tigers into a bullpen game for the second time in three days. Tyler Horton opened that contest and did the same while going two innings on Thursday.
