Springer Helps Tigers Win, 11-4, with Pair of Homers
The Detroit Tigers knocked off the Cleveland Guardians by the score of 11-4. George Springer provided some pop, going 3-for-5 with 2 home runs. Michael Kopech, the winner, improved to 8-9. He held the Guardians to 2 runs on 2 hits over 6 innings, while striking out 6 and walking 2. Detroit currently is in last place in the American League Central Division at 55-67.

A key moment came with one out in the top of the third. That's when Springer hit a changeup from Tyler Glasnow for a run-scoring single, putting Detroit up, 3-2.

"You can never predict what'll happen," Springer said. "That's why you play the game."
