Were the Guardians prepared for Detroit’s early switcheroo in ALDS Game 3?
Detroit starter Keider Montero breezed through the top of the first, retiring Steven Kwan, Kyle Manzardo and José Ramírez. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, and Detroit manager A.J. Hinch went to lefty Brant Hurter despite Montero needing only six pitches to get through his inning of work.
