The Detroit Tigers’ doubleheader against Cleveland ended in heartbreak, dropping both games despite leading in each. In the first, they blew a six-run advantage to lose 7-6; in the second, they surrendered a three-run lead in extra innings after a stellar start by rookie pitcher Andrew Sears. Sears pitched five and two-thirds innings allowing just one run, showing promise for the future, but the bullpen’s meltdown — including a two-run homer in the eighth — and missed scoring chances doomed them. The team’s inability to close out games, even when up big, continues to haunt them as young talent like Sears steps up, but late-game collapses remain a glaring weakness.
