Slade Cecconi - Needed immediately Cecconi allowed one run on three hits while striking out two over 2.2 innings of relief in a 7-6 win over the Tigers in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader.

Impact Cecconi was activated off the injured list earlier in the day, and his length was needed immediately after starter Logan Allen was chased in the third inning. Cecconi, who opened the year as a member of the Guardians rotation, was bumped to the bullpen in early August prior to experiencing arm fatigue. He should be used in a long relief role over the final month of the season.

Travis Bazzana - Big day in twin bill Bazzana went 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI across both games of Friday's doubleheader sweep of the Tigers.

Impact The rookie second baseman went 2-for-3 in both games despite beginning the nightcap on the bench, as he took over at DH in the sixth inning after Chase DeLauter was forced to exit due to a wrist sprain. That set Bazzana up to play hero, as his two-run homer in the eighth tied the game at 3-3, while his walk-off single in the 10th against Detroit closer Kenley Jansen completed the sweep. Bazzana's long ball was his first since July 20, snapping a 36-game drought, and since the All-Star break he's produced a .248/.337/.355 slash line in 163 plate appearances with three homers, five steals, 14 runs and 18 RBI.

Cade Smith - Picks up fourth win Smith (4-1) collected the win in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers, allowing one hit and striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact The Cleveland closer kept the score tied at 6-6 in the top of the final frame, and Smith got rewarded when Brayan Rocchio launched a walk-off solo shot in the bottom half of the inning. Smith hasn't been needed much lately, making only two appearances since Aug. 25, and that rest could pay off down the stretch as the Guardians try to catch the White Sox for the AL Central crown. Since the beginning of August, Smith has delivered a 1.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB over 12 innings while converting five of six save chances.

Over six outings since being picked up from the Nationals at the trade deadline, the southpaw has delivered two quality starts, and after fa bumpy Cleveland debut Aug. 6, Griffin has a 3.00 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB through his last 27 innings.

Brayan Rocchio - Stars in doubleheader sweep Rocchio went 3-for-7 with a walk, a double, two home runs, five RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases across both games of Friday's doubleheader sweep of the Tigers.

Impact The shortstop powered a 7-6 win in the matinee with both his long balls and all five of his RBI -- a fourth-inning grand slam off Keider Montero, and a walk-off solo shot off Drew Sommers in the ninth -- and Rocchio then played a key role in a 4-3 victory in the nightcap. After leading off the 10th inning with a fielder's choice that erased the phantom runner, he swiped second and third against Detroit closer Kenley Jansen, putting him in position to trot home on Travis Bazzana's single. Rocchio is up to 12 homers and 18 steals, both career highs, through 135 games on the season, but highlights at the plate have been rare of late. Over 27 contests since the beginning of August, he's managed just a .188/.248/.313 slash line.
