Pair of errors lead to 2 unearned runs as Guardians lose AL Wild Card Series opener to Tigers, 2-1By Canadian Press on September 30, 2025. Williams struck out eight and scattered five hits over six-plus innings, but was charged with two unearned runs that allowed the Detroit Tigers to edge Cleveland 2-1 in Game 1 of their AL Wild Card Series on Tuesday. “It’s just the way the game goes sometimes,” Williams said with a shrug in front of his locker. Spencer Torkelson followed with a two-out single before Williams struck out Greene. With 26,186 fans — the smallest playoff crowd in ballpark history — on their feet, Vest struck out George Valera and personally tagged out Ramírez on Kyle Manzardo’s grounder back to the mound.
