Guardians Get Past Detroit for 3-2 Win
Detroit got a terrific performance from pitcher Aaron Harang, but it wasn't enough to beat the Cleveland Guardians. Cleveland won the Comerica Park contest, 3-2. Harang threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Danny Borrell, the winner, goes to 1-0. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts over 8 innings. Tommy Bond notched his 2nd save of the season.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Domingo Mota? The 33-year old left fielder Mota stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Cleveland up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Our offense was purring," said Cleveland manager Avi Smith. "Like a well-oiled machine."

With their winning streak at 4, the Guardians have raced to a strong start this season.
