Pitching and Power Fuel Tigers’ Breakout
Wednesday’s win showcased Detroit’s balanced attack. Jack Flaherty struck out seven over five innings, while the offense piled on late. Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, and Colt Keith all launched two-run homers to break the game open, with Greene collecting 3 RBI and both Carpenter and Keith driving in 2 apiece.
Detroit’s offense has erupted for 23 runs across the first two games, a sharp contrast to their recent slump. If they can keep the bats hot, they’ll not only finish the sweep but also send a clear message that they’re back on track.
What’s at Stake
At 84–62, the Tigers hold a razor-thin lead over Toronto (83–62) for the top spot in the AL. A win tonight would complete the sweep and give Detroit more breathing room as the playoff race intensifies.
