After the loss, Riley Greene said, "I don't think anyone feels any kind of pressure. AJ Hinch said after the Tigers' first loss of the series, "If you see it as pressure, I bet it feels daunting. The Tigers should feel a little pressure right now; they should feel hunted, because that's exactly what the Guardians are doing. They're right on their heels, and the Tigers shouldn't pretend that they're above it. They shouldn't play like they're afraid, necessarily, but they definitely need to stop playing like they've become complacent.
