""We always say we try to always play without pressure," Rocchio said through the team's interpreter. "That's our type of ball. We just play and we realize we're going to play until the last out. Even if we're down by 10, we'll know we'll continue to try to play that type of ball.""
""It was a tough day," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. "Obviously, they made the most of their opportunities and we left 15 guys on. I think that paints the picture that was today.""
Cleveland rallied for a 6-1 win over Detroit, using a five-run eighth inning sparked by an unlikely Brayan Rocchio home run to force a decisive Game 3 in the AL Wild Card Series. Rocchio's rapid rise this season has mirrored the team's ability to escape late trouble. Cleveland's pitchers repeatedly stranded Tigers baserunners despite Detroit reaching base 15 times. Through seven innings Cleveland managed only two hits and five baserunners, and the game was tied 1-1 entering the eighth. Guardians players emphasize playing without pressure and competing until the final out.
