Royce Lewis opened the scoring with a 444-foot home run in the second, his fourth, and Detroit answered in the third when Gleyber Torres doubled in a run. The fifth inning decided it: Byron Buxton hit his 20th — a three-run shot on an 89.9 mph changeup, 413 feet to left center — and Kerry Carpenter answered with a two-run single that pulled Detroit within one but no closer. Framber Valdez took the loss, five innings, six hits, four earned, and the Tigers left ten on base. Yoendrys Gómez got the save despite giving up a run in the ninth — two hits and a walk in twenty-seven pitches to close a game that was closer than it needed to be.
