The Detroit Tigers faced a tough challenge in Game 4 against the Cleveland Guardians, ultimately falling short with a 5-4 loss. Manager A.J. Hinch had to rely on Reese Olson due to Tarik Skubal's absence, and while Olson performed adequately, the Tigers couldn't secure the win.

Despite taking the lead at one point, Cleveland's David Fry hit a crucial two-run homer, shifting the momentum back in favor of the Guardians. Although the Tigers managed to score in the ninth, it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit, leading to a decisive Game 5 where Skubal will return to the mound.
