The Cleveland Guardians edged the Detroit Tigers 3–2 on May 20 at Comerica Park in a low-scoring contest that fell well short of the Vegas total line of 1. Detroit managed just 5 hits and drew 3 walks while striking out 9 times, posting a .692 OPS that reflected anemic offensive production throughout the game. Cleveland's pitching was the difference-maker, allowing only 5 hits and 1 earned run while recording 9 strikeouts, with an ERA of 3.72 that proved decisive in a one-run decision. The Guardians' lineup wasn't much better offensively—8 hits and a .703 OPS—but they converted their opportunities into 3 runs, including 3 RBIs, to secure the victory. Both teams struggled at the plate with double-digit strikeout totals, though the Guardians' superior pitching execution and timely hitting gave them the edge. This defensive slugfest suggests Cleveland's rotation is rounding into form as they continue their road trip.
