Tigers vs. Guardians ALDS score: Live updates, highlights from Game 3 at Comerica Park
American Coney Island: ‘We’re prepared, always’ for Tigers ALDS
M.L. Elrick takes us inside American Coney Island on Oct. 9, 2024 in Detroit as the Tigers host their first MLB postseason game since 2014.
The Detroit Tigers, having grabbed homefield advantage with a stunning 3-0 victory in Game 2 of the ALDS, look to move within a game of winning the best-of-five series in the first playoff game at Comerica Park in a decade.
Once again, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch played coy with announcing his Game 3 starter; he would only tell reporters on Tuesday that two pitchers were unavailable: left-hander Tarik Skubal, who threw seven scoreless innings in a Game 2 no-decision, and right-hander Reese Olson, who threw five innings in relief in the Tigers’ Game 1 loss.
The Tigers ultimately landed on rookie right-hander Keider Montero to kick things off after he showed he had made some progress in working out some kinks in Game 1, throwing two innings and allowing no runs with three strikeouts in Game 1.

The Guardians, meanwhile, will start 13-year veteran Alex Cobb. The right-hander has a pair of postseason appearances, back in 2013 with the Tampa Bay Rays. More recently, he has made just three starts this season, hampered by injuries. The most recent of which is a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand, which cost him most of the final month of the season.
The first pitch for Game 3 is at 3:08 p.m. at Comerica Park in Detroit. The game will be televised on TBS and can be streamed on Sling. The Tigers are a slight -115 moneyline favorite, according to BetMGM.

Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians Game 3 pregame reading
TRENDING: Freep’s Tigers beat writer is noticeably absent from coverage. Here’s why.
While Carpenter’s 423-foot blast got all the attention, he wouldn’t have gotten to the plate against Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase if not for shortstop Trey Sweeney reaching base first. Sweeney, of course, came over to the Tigers as a prospect included in the deal that sent right-hander Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers. But the Freep’s Jeff Seidel says the shortstop is anything but a throw-in.
Comerica Park will almost certainly be rocking for its first playoff game since Oct. 5, 2014 — a 2-1 loss to end a sweep by the Baltimore Orioles in the ALDS. The Tigers haven’t won a playoff game at Comerica since Oct. 16, 2013 — a Game 5 win over the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS. But expect a raucous crowd enjoying the kind of playoff run that comes around once in a generation, according to the Freep’s Shawn Windsor.
Well, at least for the Tigers. As the Freep’s Dave Birkett points out this morning, the Tigers’ near-miraculous recovery from a 10-game deficit on Aug. 10 parallels that of the 2022 Lions, who rose from a 1-7 start to barely miss the playoffs and planted the seeds of a squad that won a franchise-record 14 games (including the postseason) last season and is a frontrunner to make its first Super Bowl this season.

Every seat in the Michigan Senate is up for election this year, and eight of those districts are in Wayne County.
In the 4th, 5th and 8th Districts, only one Republican and one Democrat filed for election, meaning those candidates will automatically be nominated and move on to the November ballot. Here are The Detroit News endorsements in the five contested Senate primaries in Wayne County:
1st District (Southwest Detroit and parts of Downriver, including Taylor, Melvindale and Lincoln Park): Two Detroit Democrats are competing for this seat: Abraham Aiyash and Justin Onwenu.
Aiyash is a former state representative who is hoping to return to the Legislature after a two-year absence. He is a progressive whose policy positions align with Democratic socialists.
Onwenu is an attorney who served the Mike Duggan administration as Detroit’s first Director of Entrepreneurship and Economic Opportunity, helping small businesses get a start in the city. Before attending Columbia Law School, where he was president of the student body from 2023 to 2024, Onwenu worked to combat air and water pollution in Detroit, Ecorse and River Rouge.
In the Senate, he promises to be a supporter of legislation to strengthen neighborhoods by lowering property taxes and investing in infrastructure.
He also supports stronger transparency and ethics rules for lawmakers. Justin Onwenu gets our endorsement in the 1st District Democratic primary.
Patrick O’Connell of Ecorse is unopposed in the Republican primary.
2nd District (Northwest Detroit, Dearborn Heights and part of Dearborn): The district is currently represented by Sylvia Santana, who made an unsuccessful bid to be nominated for the Michigan State University board.
The Democratic primary features two Dearborn residents who are hoping to replace Santana: Erin Byrnes and Abbas Alawieh.
Alawieh describes himself as a political strategist, community organizer and pro-peace advocate. He is supported by the Michigan Democratic Party’s Progressive Caucus and aligns with many of its anti-growth positions.
Byrnes is currently a state representative in her second term. Like her opponent, she is well to the left of center on the political spectrum. In the Legislature, she has pushed for utility rate controls.
The two Democrats are similarly positioned. Our choice in the 2nd District is Erin Byrnes, based on her legislative experience.
Harry Sawicki of Dearborn Heights is unopposed in the Republican primary.
3rd District (Detroit, Warren and Madison Heights): The contest to replace incumbent Stephanie Chang has drawn a long list of candidates. The 3rd District starts near Downtown Detroit and stretches north through the center of the city into southern Oakland and Macomb counties.
Eleven Democrats, all from Detroit, are competing in the primary. They are: Mohammad Alam, a Bangladeshi immigrant and Army veteran; LeJuan Council, a property manager and small business owner; John Conyers III, son of the late congressman; LaTanya Garrett, a former state representative; Korey Hall, a former director of community affairs in the Whitmer administration; Adam Hollier, a former state senator; Gary Hunter, a former candidate for Detroit City Council; Kimberly Hill-Knott, former head of the Detroit Climate Action Collaborative; Toinu Reeves, an economist, Abraham Shaw, who owns an auto repair shop, and Eboni Taylor, a community advocate.
There are several interesting and impressive candidates in this race, including Conyers, who just wrote about his father. Garrett has legislative experience, as does Hollier, whom we’ve endorsed in his previous runs for public office.
But we are most impressed with Reeves, a newcomer to politics who brings top-notch credentials to the race. Reeves grew up on Detroit’s east side and is an economist who attended Wayne State University and Dartmouth College.
He serves as chair of the Economic Development Workgroup for Detroit’s District 4 Community Advisory Committee and on the Jefferson-Chalmers Community District Council. He is a former school teacher and autoworker.
Toinu Reeves offers fresh ideas and much-needed skills, and gets our endorsement in the 3rd District Democratic Primary.
Mark Ashley Price is unopposed in the Republican primary.
6th District (Redford Township, Farmington and Farmington Hills): Incumbent Mary Cavanaugh is defending her seat from a challenge from fellow Democrat Stephen Jensen, who shows no signs of a campaign. Both are from Redford.
Mary Cavanaugh, granddaughter of the late Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanaugh, has served her district well and should be renominated for a second term.
Joi Pokerwinski of Redford Township is unopposed in the Republican Party.
12th District (Parts of Wayne, Macomb and St. Clair counties, including Algonac, the Grosse Pointes, St. Clair Shores, Harper Woods, Mount Clemens and New Baltimore): Incumbent Sen. Kevin Hertel of St. Clair Shores is unopposed in the Democratic primary. Five Republicans are competing in their primary to face him in November.
They are: Joseph Backus of St. Clair Shores, a prolific community volunteer who has run unsuccessfully for other offices; Patrick Biange of St. Clair Shores; John Goldwater of New Baltimore, an oil and gas entrepreneur; Eileen Tesch, the former mayor of Algonac who faced recall efforts, and Shelley Wright, a former general contractor and owner of a process serving company who says Donald Trump inspired her to politics.
John Goldwater has experience growing a business and creating jobs. He would also prioritize improving skilled trades training. The father of six is a conservative who describes himself as pro-life and a defender of the Second Amendment.
Our endorsement in the 12th District Republican primary goes to John Goldwater.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
