Game notes: Both teams were off Monday. The Tigers dropped three of four to the Tampa Bay Rays and are looking for their first series win in about two weeks. The second-place Guardians, a game back of the Minnesota Twins and a game up on the Chicago White Sox, split four games with the Houston Astros. When these two met in mid-July, Cleveland dominated Detroit, 20-5, over the course of a three-game sweep. The Tigers, though, swept the Guardians earlier in the month.

Andres Gimenez has two home runs in three at-bats against Alexander, and All-Star Jose Ramirez is 3-for-12 with a homer. Bieber's domination of the Tigers came to a halt July 6 with five runs and seven allowed in 5⅔ innings in an 8-2 Detroit win.

The series ends with a night game Wednesday and a day game Thursday.
