• The starting line-up for the Tigers is as follows:

• The starting line-up for the Guardians is as follows:

• The Cleveland Guardians are not a power-laden team. They don’t hit a ton of home runs. What they do is battle, hit a lot of singles and put pressure on opposing teams on the bases. The Guardians recorded a come-from-behind, 6-5 win over the visiting Detroit Tigers on Friday, giving Cleveland two victories to open the four-game series.

• Quantrill is 1-2 with a 3.54 ERA in six career appearances (three starts) against the Tigers. He lost at Detroit on July 5 after giving up six runs, three earned, on eight hits in four innings.

• Pineda is 3-0 with a 3.14 ERA in six career outings (five starts) against the Guardians, 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA in one relief appearance in Cleveland. He beat the visiting Guardians on July 6, when he yielded two runs on five hits in five innings.

• Cleveland rallied for two runs in the seventh inning on Friday for the victory. All-Star Andres Gimenez, who drove in Steven Kwan with the decisive run on a two-out single, continues to hit in the clutch. Gimenez is batting .384 (28-for-73) with runners in scoring position this year. He’s hitting .429 (15-for-35) with two outs and runners in scoring position. Of his 43 RBIs this season, 23 have come with two outs. He leads the team with a .299 average.

• Gimenez was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run on Friday. Catcher Austin Hedges went 2-for-4 with an RBI and made a big catch to end the Tigers’ four-run rally in the fourth inning. He caught a popup from Victor Reyes one step into the dugout, which was discussed at length by the umpiring crew.

• Detroit’s Riley Greene hit a solo homer in the third and added a two-run double in the fourth. The rookie center fielder struck out in all four at-bats on Thursday.

• The Tigers, who have lost seven of their past eight games, also got three hits from Harold Castro.

• Besides timing hitting in the seventh, what won the game for Cleveland was its bullpen. Four relievers combined for 5 1/3 innings and allowed two hits, no runs and no walks. They struck out four. Bryan Shaw pitched two shutout innings for the win; Trevor Stephan tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his second save.
