DETROIT — \u2014 Steven Kwan<\/a>, Angel Martinez<\/a>, Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez and Kyle Manzardo<\/a> combined to give Cleveland four extra-base hits an extra inning for the first time in 64 years, and the Guardians beat the Detroit Tigers<\/a> 7-5 in the 10th on Tuesday night for their 10th win in 11 games.<\/p>\n

Pinch-hitter Kerry Carpenter<\/a> tied the score 3-3 with a two-out homer in the ninth against Cade Smith<\/a> (7-5), who blew a save for the sixth time in 21 chances.<\/p>\n

Cleveland extended a winning streak to five for the fifth time this season, matching its high, and improved to 11-6 in extra innings \u2014 the most extra-inning wins in the big leagues. The Guardians began the night three games behind Houston for the last AL wild card and closed within 5 1\/2 games of the AL Central-leading Tigers.<\/p>\n

The Guardians’ first our batters in the 10th had extra-base hits off Will Vest<\/a> (6-4), when Kwan doubled, Mart\u00ednez tripled, Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez and Kyle Manzardo doubled. Gabriel Arias<\/a> added a one-out RBI single for a 7-3 lead.<\/p>\n

Spencer Torkelson<\/a> hit a two-run homer in bottom of the 10th off Jakub Junis.<\/p>\n

C.J. Kayfus hit an RBI single in the second and Gleyber Torres<\/a> tied the game in the third with his 16th home run. Arias’ homer put Cleveland back ahead in the fourth and Bo Naylor<\/a>‘s RBI double in the sixth built a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Dillon Dingler<\/a> drove in a run with a grounder in the bottom half, beating a throw to first to avoid an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n

Key moment <\/p>\n

Cleveland had not had four extra-base hits in an extra inning since May 10, 1961, when Tito Francona, Chuck Essegian, Woodie Held and Bubba Phillips achieved the feat in the 11th inning during an 8-2 win at the Chicago White Sox<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Key stat <\/p>\n

Several players wore No. 21 in honor of Roberto Clemente Day, but the Tiger who normally wears the number, rookie pitcher Jackson Jobe<\/a>, is sidelined for the rest of the season with a flexor injury.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Tigers RHP Jack Flaherty<\/a> (8-13, 4.69) and Guardians RHP Gavin Williams<\/a> (10-5, 3.16) start Wednesday.<\/p>\n
