Tough Loss on the Road for the Tigers 
The Detroit Tigers faced the Los Angeles Angels in a challenging game that ended in a 2-5 defeat. Our boys started off slow and, despite a promising comeback in the third inning, couldn't hold on till the end.First Inning Woes
The game began with a quiet first inning for Detroit. Wenceel Pérez, Riley Greene, and Matt Vierling couldn't get on base as we quickly went three up, three down. On the other hand, the Angels took an early lead when Nolan Schanuel singled, followed by a two-run homer from Luis Rengifo.
Third Inning Comeback! 
Things looked grim until the third inning when the Tigers capitalized on some pitching errors from the Angels. It all started with Ryan Kreidler's single and continued with back-to-back walks from Pérez and Greene. Matt Vierling managed to draw a walk with bases loaded, scoring Kreidler. Mark Canha followed suit, earning another RBI walk which tied the game at 2-2. A glimmer of hope for our squad! 
Missed Opportunities
Despite tying the game, our bats fell silent again. In the fourth inning, Andy Ibáñez had a promising single but got out on a fielder's choice. We just couldn’t seem to find the rhythm in key moments.
Angels Take the Lead Again
The nail in the coffin came in the bottom of the 8th inning. After a single from Rengifo and another from Taylor Ward, a devastating three-run homer by Logan O'Hoppe put the Angels up 5-2. We couldn't generate any offense in the 9th inning as Mark Canha, Colt Keith, and Andy Ibáñez were retired in order.
Final Thoughts
It's always tough to see our team lose, but let's look at the positives. Our boys showed resilience by coming back to tie the game in the third. Although today wasn't our day, there's always the next game. Let's keep our heads up and continue supporting the Tigers! Onward and upward!
