Tigers Take the Win
What a thrilling game it was for us Tigers fans! The Detroit Tigers managed to edge out the Texas Rangers with a final score of 2-1. It wasn't an explosive offensive showdown, but our boys did what they needed to do to secure the win. Big cheers for Wenceel Perez and Matt Vierling whose performances were crucial for getting those runs on the board.
Off to a Good Start
The Tigers struck first! In the top of the 2nd inning, Wenceel Perez singled and the line continued with Dillon Dingler hitting one to center and Zach McKinstry hustling his way to score Perez with a single to right. McKinstry's timely hit put us up with an early 1-0 lead. Our pitching was doing a great job keeping the Rangers at bay, with Skubal delivering some key strikeouts!
Nail-Biting Finish
It looked like the Rangers might rally when they leveled the scores in the 7th with a wild pitch, but the Tigers held their nerve. In the top of the 8th, McKinstry came in clutch once again with Matt Vierling driving in Gleyber Torres who had reached on a single. Vierling's hit gave us the lead again, and thanks to solid pitching by Alex Lange, we kept the lead intact. Big shoutout to our bullpen trio Holton, Vest, and Lange for handling the business!
Way to go, Tigers! Let's keep this momentum rolling!
