Bazzana singles home winning run in 10th inning as Guardians top Tigers 4-3 to sweep doubleheader
Bazzana tied the score with a two-run homer off Jacob Waguespack in the eighth, then lined the ball up the middle against Kenley Jansen (4-6) in the 10th. Rocchio had reached on a fielder’s choice before stealing second and third.
In the opener, Rocchio hit a solo homer in the ninth inning after connecting on a tying grand slam in the fourth, rallying the Guardians to a 7-6 victory. It marked the first time Cleveland won both games of a doubleheader in walk-off fashion since Aug. 19, 1984, against Milwaukee.
Hunter Gaddis (3-3) pitched two clean innings in the nightcap to earn the win, keeping the Guardians (72-70) in sole possession of the final American League wild-card position.
Tigers starter Andrew Sears carried a shutout into the sixth until Nathaniel Lowe doubled in José Ramírez to pull the Guardians to 3-1. The left-hander gave up one run over 5 2/3 innings in his third major league appearance.
Detroit went ahead 2-0 in the third when Hao-Yu Lee singled in Zach McKinstry and Kevin McGonigle followed with an RBI double to score Gleyber Torres. Torres scored again in the fifth on Eduardo Valencia’s single to extend the lead against Foster Griffin.
Lee was thrown out at home later in the third and exited with a bruised left shin after running into catcher Austin Hedges.
Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt was ejected by plate umpire Manny Gonzalez in the fifth after intervening in a dispute between Gonzalez and Hedges.
Guardians left fielder Angel Martínez was removed in the fifth with a bruised left shoulder, one inning after colliding with Rocchio while pursuing a popup. Designated hitter Chase DeLauter was lifted for Bazzana in the sixth because of a right wrist sprain.
