Guardians win third straight over 1st-place Tigers after 4-run 10th inning
May 25 - Kyle Manzardo and Angel Martinez each hit RBI doubles in the top of the 10th inning to lift the Cleveland Guardians to a 7-5 win over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on Saturday.
Cleveland has won the first three of the four-game series.
Bo Naylor had a sacrifice fly and pinch-hitter Nolan Jones added an RBI single in the four-run 10th for Cleveland.
Detroit responded in its half of the 10th, cutting the Cleveland lead to 7-5 on a 2-run double to left-center field by Gleyber Torres off Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase.
But Clase stifled the Detroit rally by inducing a foulout from Colt Keith and a groundout by Riley Greene to end the game.
After falling behind 3-0 in the first, Cleveland didn't allow a run until the 10th inning, and the Guardians bullpen didn't allow a hit in more than four innings of work until Torres' double in the 10th.
Detroit took a 3-0 lead in the first on an RBI double by Keith and a 2-run single by Matt Vierling.
Cleveland cut its deficit to 3-2 in the third on a solo home run by Naylor and an RBI single by Jose Ramirez.
The score remained that way until the eighth, when Ramirez and Kyle Manzardo opened the inning with back-to-back singles off Detroit reliever Tommy Kahnle.
Following a popup, Kahnle induced a ground ball to first from Martinez, but Ramirez slid in to home plate safely ahead of a throw from Detroit first basemen Spencer Torkelson to tie the game at 3-3.
Ramirez and Manzardo each had two hits for the Guardians, and starter Luis Ortiz allowed three earned runs on four hits and five walks in his five innings of work.
In his first start following a stint on the disabled list, Casey Mize allowed one run on four hits and a walk, striking out six, in his five innings of work.

Man City star delivers damning verdict on Club World Cup as he reveals why his team do NOT want to be in it
Manuel Akanji has broken ranks by openly criticising Manchester City 's upcoming Club World Cup schedule. Pep Guardiola 's side have been drawn into Group G of the competition - alongside Juventus, Al-Ain and Wydad FC - which is set to kick-off next weekend, just three weeks after the Premier League season concluded. If City go all the way in the tournament, they could find themselves playing until mid-July, giving players just a month off before the 2025-26 season starts. For many players, these past couple of weeks have not provided them the opportunity to kick back and relax for the summer, as they have international football duties to attend to. And Akanji, who is currently in the US on Switzerland duty for their upcoming pair of friendlies, has candidly spoken out against the fixture congestion. The centre back said: 'I have been a strong critic of this competition for some time now. We players would love to have some holidays, and some time for our bodies to rest.' Coming off their first trophy-less season under Guardiola since 2017, it is unsurprising that City's players are not keen to get right back onto the field after just a few weeks. Akanji went on to explain that the rest of the squad are 'not exactly overjoyed' about the upcoming games, which come off the back of a 57-game campaign. The 29-year-old added: 'My City teammates are not exactly overjoyed about the tournament either. But it's now right in our faces, and there is nothing we can do about it. 'If we take part, then of course we want to win it. But if we reach the final, then the time period for us to recover ahead of the new season will become even shorter.' When asked about City's underwhelming 2024-25 campaign, Akanji offered an optimistic verdict and argued it could have been 'far worse' than it turned out to be. City finished third, earning them a spot in next season's Champions League competition, while they were dispatched in the FA Cup final by Crystal Palace, and knocked out of the EFL Cup and Champions League in the earlier rounds. 'Set against the expectations we have, this hasn't been a good season,' Akanji continued. 'We finished third in the Premier League, three points behind Arsenal, and qualified for the Champions League. 'But it is still our worst campaign for some time. However, Pep Guardiola still said he was proud of us for never giving up. The season could have finished far worse than it did.' The stakes are higher this year, with a mammoth £1billion prize pot shared between 32 teams Teams are expected to take this year's Club World Cup more serious than ever before, considering the mammoth prize pool at stake. The side that takes the trophy home will receive a windfall of $40m (£30m), while a team winning of their games could see them land up to $125m (£92m). For reference, the winner of the Champions League earns around £120m, while the Premier League champions typically earn between £38m and £40m for finishing first. From this year onwards, the Club World Cup will take place once every four years, the next rendition coming in 2029.

Jon Jones trolls Dana White and UFC fans as he finally reveals fight plans after leaving Tom Aspinall in limbo
JON JONES has finally given clarity on his fighting future. The former pound-for-pound king has ummed and ahhed with the prospect of retirement since his maiden defence of the heavyweight title last November. 6 6 6 6 That's despite the UFC brass meeting his demands to be paid "F**K YOU MONEY" for a mammoth unification bout with interim titleholder Tom Aspinall. UFC supremo Dana White has faced a deluge of calls to strip Jones of his heavyweight crown and breathe new life into the stagnating division. But Hall of Famer Jones has hinted that he'll give up the belt before White and Co. bite the bullet and relieve him of it. In an impromptu posting spree on X, Jones wrote: 'I spoke to the UFC a long time ago about what my future plans were. "I haven't really worked out since my last fight in New York City. 'Honestly, I believe it's been in the UFC's best interest to keep presenting me as the company's champion—not Tom. "I've just been playing the role of the company man by doing nothing at all… and holding the position. 'And truthfully, it's been incredibly lucrative. I've made more money off of Tom being the interim champ than Tom has himself. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 6 "It sucks to see the rest of the division get slowed down like this, but that has nothing to do with me. I don't pull the strings. 'And remember, you can't strip a guy like me at this point. I give the belt up freely. Veni, vidi, vici.' The MMA masses have accused Jones of "ducking" Aspinall, with several going as far as to say he'll damage his legacy if he doesn't fight the Brit. But the former long-reigning light-heavyweight champion could care little about his detractors' thoughts on his impact in the sport. He said: "That's the problem with some young men, you think your last outcome is your legacy. "That's why when many of you fall short, you can't find the strength to return. "But here's the truth: your legacy isn't your last move. Legacy is what no one can take from you. You can't strip a guy like me at this point. I give the belt up freely. Veni, vidi, vici.' Jon Jones "It's built over time, not defined by a single win or loss. "If you're reading this, your legacy is far from over. "We wake up each day with a chance to build, to add, to rise. Make yours beautiful." Fan favourite Aspinall has been sat twiddling his thumbs on the sidelines since his 60-second demolition of Curtis Blaydes last July. The Wigan warrior has been frustrated by his inactivity, although SunSport understands an announcement for his next fight will be made imminently. 6

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes cheer on as Texas Tech softball wins Women's College World Series Game 2
With the Texas Tech women's softball team making their first ever appearance in the Women's College World Series, one of the school's most famous alums was on hand. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, both were in Oklahoma City on Thursday night for Game 2 of the best-of-three series. Mahomes cheered on as Texas Tech's squad - led by National Pitcher of the Year NiJaree Canady - upset cross-state rivals Texas to force a decisive Game 3 on Friday night. In the middle of the game, the husband and wife spoke to ESPN's Holly Rowe after Patrick showed his support by providing the team with shoes and varsity letter jackets. When asked what made him want to invest, Mahomes made it clear that it was beyond just his affiliation with the school. 'First off, I love Texas Tech and everything Texas Tech is about. To have NiJaree here along with the other girls has been fun to watch,' the Chiefs quarterback said. 'I've always loved softball and watching it. I'm happy it's back in the Olympics and glad to have them here in Oklahoma City.' Both Patrick and Brittany have heavily invested in women's sports - with Brittany, a former soccer player, serving as a co-founder of the NWSL's KC Current. 'I think it's just been incredibly... it's fulfilling,' Brittany said when asked about the pride she has in helping grow women's sports. 'As an athlete myself, I think there's been, I know, a bunch of passion and just talent and grit that exists in women's sports. 'Just being able in that position to spotlight this and show everybody how amazing women's sports is has just been a dream come true for me.' The final game of the Women's College World Series takes place Friday night at 8:00ET.
