After kicking off the long weekend set on Thursday night, the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians meet up in the second game of their four-game series on Friday night.

Gleyber Torres came to Detroit during the offseason, and he has been a helpful addition to the team. Early in Thursday's game, he hit a hard line drive to center field, and he came up limping on his way to first base. The ball was caught in the outfield, and Torres didn't end up going back in the game.

Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez are the constants at the top of Cleveland’s lineup. Kwan, in the leadoff spot, is hitting .317 (60 for 189) with four homers, 17 RBI and 27 runs. Ramirez, who bounces between the second and third spot, is hitting .304 (52 for 171) with nine homers, 24 RBI and 26 runs.

The Guardians jumped on Tigers rookie Jackson Jobe early. Steven Kwan led off the game with a double, and José Ramírez tripled him home two batters later to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. Ramírez then scored on Carlos Santana’s infield single.
