The Guardians stormed past Detroit 5‑1, snapping a 15½‑game deficit to sit alone atop the AL Central for the first time since April. George Valera’s two‑run homer and José Ramírez’s clutch double powered the win, while Tanner Bibee tossed six shutout‑plus innings. The victory also gave Cleveland a season‑series edge and a playoff‑ready boost with just four games left.
