Travis Bazzana singled home Brayan Rocchio in the 10th inning to give the Cleveland Guardians a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers and complete a sweep of their day-night doubleheader. The Guardians' Hunter Gaddis earned the win after pitching two clean innings, keeping the team (72-70) in sole possession of the final American League wild-card position. Bazzana had previously tied the game with a two-run homer in the eighth inning off Jacob Waguespack. This marked the first time Cleveland won both games of a doubleheader in walk-off fashion since 1984.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
