Framber Valdez struggled early, allowing six runs, but Detroit mounted a comeback in the seventh inning. Gleyber Torres and Riley Green drove in runs to trim the deficit to 8-6, but the rally stalled when Parker Meadows took balls on close pitches.
The Tigers attempted another rally in the eighth, but two key strikeouts ended their hopes. Gleyber Torres struck out looking on a pitch overturned by an ABS challenge, and Detroit could not complete the comeback in the ninth.
