Guardians Drop Tigers, 6-4, with Late Score
The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Detroit Tigers, 6-4, at Jacobs Field. Marlon Byrd, who led the AL in triples with 10 in 2002, was a standout performer for Cleveland. His 3 hits included 2 singles and 1 double -- this in addition to the 1 run he scored and 1 he knocked in. Cleveland pitcher Vincent Boyanich got the win. He's now 3-5. Clint Johnston was tagged with the loss. Earning the save was Robb Nen. He's now cashed in 3 of 4 save opportunities.

The game was at a stalemate until pinch hitter Ricardo Nanita came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Detroit pitcher Chris Perez, he hit a 1-0 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cleveland on top, 4-3.

In postgame comments to the Cleveland Bulletin, Nanita said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."

The Guardians raised their record to 54-97.
