MLB Playoff Scores, Live Updates: Tigers, Guardians meet in ALDS Game 4 as Detroit looks to pull ahead

The Detroit Tigers have their eyes set on their first American League Championship Series appearance since 2013, and with a 2-1 series lead against the Cleveland Guardians, the only thing standing in their way is a team that will fight for its playoff life in Thursday’s ALCS Game 4.

All three games in this series were shutouts, with Detroit winning the previous two games 3-0. The Tigers put together a bullpen game to win Game 3, and their six pitchers combined to walk just two and scatter six hits – five of which were allowed by Brant Hurter, who picked up the win after 3 1/3 innings to have played.

Cleveland will need to put some points on the board against Detroit starter Reese Olson if it wants to stay in the series. The Guardians – who have scored nine goals in the past two games – will send Tanner Bibee to the mound.

Later, the New York Yankees can close out the Kansas City Royals in their ALDS matchup. The Yanks took a 2-1 series lead on Wednesday, powered by an eighth-inning solo home run by Giancarlo Stanton in the 3-2 win.

Despite being a bit shaky in his Game 1 start against the Royals – a game the Yankees won – top prospect Gerrit Cole will get the ball to try to get New York to the ALCS for the 11th time since 2000. Michael Wacha takes the mound for the Royals with the season on the line in Kansas City.
