The victory marked the first time Cleveland had won both games of a double header in walk-off fashion since 1984 against Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Bazzana, named an MLB All Star in 2026, tied the score with a two-run home run off Jacob Waguespack in the eighth, then lined the ball up the middle against Kenley Jansen in the 10th.<\/p>\n

In the opener, Rocchio hit a solo home run in the ninth inning after connecting on a tying grand slam in the fourth, rallying the Guardians to a 7-6 victory. <\/p>\n

Hunter Gaddis (3-3) pitched two clean innings in the nightcap to earn the win, keeping the Guardians (72-70) in sole possession of the final American League wildcard position.<\/p>\n

Detroit went ahead 2-0 in the third when Hao-Yu Lee singled in Zach McKinstry and Kevin McGonigle followed with an RBI double to score Gleyber Torres.<\/p>\n

Torres scored again in the fifth on Eduardo Valencia\u2019s single to extend the lead against Foster Griffin.<\/p>\n

Lee was thrown out at home later in the third and exited with a bruised left shin after running into catcher Austin Hedges.<\/p>\n

Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt was ejected by plate umpire Manny Gonzalez in the fifth after intervening in a dispute between Gonzalez and Hedges.<\/p>\n

Guardians left fielder Angel Mart\u00ednez was removed in the fifth with a bruised left shoulder, one inning after colliding with Rocchio while pursuing a popup. <\/p>\n

Designated hitter Chase DeLauter was lifted for Bazzana in the sixth because of a right wrist sprain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aussie Major League Baseball star Travis Bazzana has singlehandedly led the Cleveland Guardians to a stunning comeback victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":880827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-880826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=880826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/880827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
