Detroit — Angel Martínez led off the 10th inning with a tiebreaking triple and José Ramírez followed with an RBI double as the Cleveland Guardians beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Wednesday night. Cleveland had tied the score in the ninth when Daniel Schneemann scored on Patrick Bailey’s groundout, forcing extra innings. The outcome left Detroit with another loss during a prolonged slump — the Tigers have lost five straight and 13 of 15 games — while Cleveland recorded the late win and saw Cade Smith close the game for his 16th save. Tanner Bibee pitched eight innings for the Guardians, and Detroit mounted a ninth-inning threat but failed to convert before the extra-inning rally.
