How much do tickets cost for the Tigers - Guardians playoff game 5 in Cleveland?
Want to be there as the Guardians make it to the League Championship Series as they take on Detroit in the decider?
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is planning to leave no stone unturned when his team travel to Cleveland in the deciding game the American League Division Series on Saturday afternoon.
Hinch will be trying to rally the troops after pinch hitter David Fry smacked a go-ahead two-run homer on Thursday to put Cleveland up 4-3 with two outs in the seventh inning of Game 4.
Fry later plated Brayan Rocchio with a sacrifice bunt in the top of the ninth, and Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase did just enough in the home half of the inning to allow Cleveland to escape with a 5-4 victory.
Now Hinch is determined to make sure that the Tigers leave everything out on the field in their biggest game in more than a decade. The winner will go on to face the New York Yankees in the AL Championship Series.
“Everything’s on the table,” Hinch said. “Everything’s on the line. When you play a team in a Game 5 or a Game 7, depending on the series, it’s very obvious that everything matters. ... And factor in it’s a division opponent where we’re even more familiar with them.
“Something unpredictable will happen (Saturday), I don’t know what that is. But baseball’s incredible this time of year when you have games like this and opportunities to be great.”
The Guardians are gunning for their first ALCS appearance since 2016, when they eventually went on to lose to the Chicago Cubs in Game 7 of the World Series.
Saturday’s game was originally scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET but was moved forward seven hours due to inclement weather that is supposed to roll into Cleveland.
