CLEVELAND — Brayan Rocchio belted a go-ahead solo homer and Bo Naylor had a three-run shot as part of a five-run eighth inning, giving the Cleveland Guardians a 6-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 of their American League wild-card series Wednesday afternoon.
It was the only hit and run allowed by Mize in three-plus innings, which included two walks and one strikeout.
Guardians starter Tanner Bibee worked 4 2/3 innings, giving up one run on five hits.
He became the sixth player to make his major league debut in a postseason game, going 0-for-2 with a walk.
Both Tigers runs were unearned thanks to errors by right fielder Johnathan Rodriguez and first baseman Jhonkensy Noel.
