The Tigers were depending on Jack Flaherty to confound the Giants’ batters, while the Giants turned to Logan Webb. Mike Yastrzemski kicked off the game for the Giants with a leadoff single.

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Fireworks aren’t an unusual sight after a baseball game in the summer, but they are certainly unexpected in the middle of an inning.

Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images Game two of four for the Tigers against the Guardians and they were looking to bounce back from a rough first outing of the series. The Tigers had Jackson Jobe was up against Slade Cecconi for the Guardians, and can we pause for a moment to appreciate that those names are definitely the off-duty names for a Marvel superhero and supervillain? The Guardians were most certainly the villains in tonight’s narrative.
