Patrick Bailey had a solo homer while Brayan Rocchio had three hits, including two doubles, as the visiting Cleveland Guardians won their sixth straight game, a 3-1 triumph over the slumping Detroit Tigers on Thursday.

Daniel Scheemann and Jose Ramirez knocked in the other runs for the Guardians, who completed a four-game series sweep while winning for the ninth time in their past 10 games. The Tigers have lost six straight and 14 of their last 16.

Cleveland starter Joey Cantillo (4-1) gave up three hits and three walks and struck out six in 5 2/3 scoreless innings. Hunter Gaddis pitched a shutout ninth for his first save this season.

Detroit starter Casey Mize (2-3) allowed two runs and four hits without a walk while striking out five in 6 2/3 innings. Dillon Dingler hit a homer for the Tigers' lone run.

Detroit loaded the bases in the first on Kevin McGonigle's single, Dingler's double and Jahmai Jones' two-out walk. Cantillo escaped the jam as Spencer Torkelson flied out to end the inning.

The Guardians scored a pair of two-out runs in the third after Mize retired the first eight batters he faced. Rocchio slashed a double to right and Schneemann dropped a double near the right field line to bring him home. Ramirez followed with a run-scoring single.

After their threat in the first, the Tigers failed to have two baserunners in the same inning. Zack Short got his first hit of the season, a single, with two outs in the second. McGonigle drew a leadoff walk in the third and Matt Vierling worked out a free pass in the fifth. Torkelson slapped an opposite-field single with two outs in the sixth, and pinch hitter Colt Keith had a leadoff walk in the seventh.

Bailey blasted a Burch Smith fastball over the right field wall leading off the eighth for his second homer this season.

Dingler put Detroit on the board with his ninth homer leading off the bottom of the eighth.
