Slade Cecconi pitched six strong innings and the Cleveland Guardians topped the host Detroit Tigers 3-1 on Friday night.

Steven Kwan opened the game with a double to right off a 97 mph heater. Jose Ramirez, one out later, delivered Kwan with a triple off the wall in right center on a 96 mph fastball. Carlos Santana, with two out, scored Ramirez with a broken-bat single to the hole at short on another 97 mph heater.

A sixth-inning solo home run by Spencer Torkelson was the only thing standing between the Tigers and back-to-back shutouts, as the Guardians beat them for a second straight night at Comerica Park, 3-1 on Friday.

The six-parter, showcasing how these "unsung heroes" protect nature and are "an inspiration to us all," is the brainchild of the royal, who has voiced the trailer and episode introductions.

The Guardians jumped on Tigers rookie Jackson Jobe early. Steven Kwan led off the game with a double, and José Ramírez tripled him home two batters later to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. Ramírez then scored on Carlos Santana’s infield single.

Right field has long been a land of platoon bats, repositioned infielders and patchwork free-agent signings for Cleveland.

Last year Jhonknesy Noel started his big league career by hitting a home run in his first at-bat for the Guardians on June 26 in Baltimore. It propelled Noel, nicknamed Big Christmas, to a productive first season in the big leagues. He hit only .218, but had seven doubles and 13 homers among his 39 hits.
