Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians head-to-head record

The Detroit Tigers have dominated their last five meetings with the Cleveland Guardians, winning four in a row before Cleveland's breakthrough 7-5 victory on September 17. The Tigers have been dominant in pitching and run prevention, earning two shutouts in a row, including 7-0 and 5-0 victories.

The Guardians' most recent victory, though, indicates that they've begun to understand Detroit's strategy and are capable of producing runs when required.

The outcome of this game may depend on whether Detroit regains control with the timely hitting and reliable pitching that drove their previous success or if Cleveland can maintain that momentum.
