Elly De La Cruz has been Cincinnati's hottest hitter, hitting a home run in each of his last four games, giving him 16 for the season. On Sunday, he served as the designated hitter, getting a rest from his customary shortstop position.

The Guardians scored more than five runs for the first time in the month of June and Carlos Santana won somebody a new car with a grand slam.

Now, the Tigers are back in the Motor City, where they have been exceptional. Heading into the weekend, the Bengals are 23-9 at Comerica Park, good for the second-best home record in the major leagues. The Tigers are still atop the AL Central, eight games up on the Minnesota Twins.
