The Guardians host the Tigers in Game 1 of a huge three-game series.
The Guardians, who found themselves 15 1/2 games out of the Central lead in early July, begin the series a game back of the first-place Tigers.
Cleveland swept a three-game series in Detroit last week, as the road team has had the better of this matchup this season.
CLEVELAND — The biggest game of the season to date is Tuesday, Sept. 23 at Progressive Field .
The Guardians , who have had wild September in which they've won 15 of their last 17 games, enter Sept. 23 just a game back of the Detroit Tigers in the American League Central.
Because the Guardians would currently hold the tiebreaker, the winner of Tuesday's game will be in the driver's seat for the division over the final five days of the regular seas
