Detroit starter Jack Flaherty (8-14) gave up one run on three hits and four walks in five innings.
The Guardians took a 1-0 lead in the third on George Valera's RBI single. Gabriel Arias doubled in the sixth, stole third and scored on Angel Martínez's RBI single to make it 2-0. Naylor made it 4-0 in the ninth.
The Tigers only got two runners into scoring position in the first six innings. They drew two walks in the seventh, bringing pinch-hitter Andy Ibáñez to the plate with one out. He popped out to short and Gleyber Torres grounded out to end the inning.
