During the sixth inning, with runners at first and second and no one out, Guardians designated hitter David Fry squared to bunt on a 2-2 pitch from Tigers starter Tarik Skubal. Skubal, along with the entire Tigers infield, clapped, and Fry acknowledge his teammates in the third-base dugout with a wave. The Guardians went on to score two more runs off Skubal and win the series opener 5-2. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said after the game that Fry took the pitch "straight to the face," but that he never lost consciousness." Vogt said Fry will have some testing done and there would be an update on his condition Wednesday.
