Overview

• Spencer Torkelson crushed a two-run homer in the seventh to put Detroit up 5-3, but the lead did not hold.
• Rookie Nacho Álvarez hit his first MLB home run, added a solo shot in the eighth, then delivered the two-out, two-strike tying RBI in the ninth before Jurickson Profar singled home the winner.
• Closer Will Vest allowed two runs in the ninth after recording two strikeouts, undoing the save chance in a two-strike count to Álvarez.
• Starter Keider Montero lasted three innings with four walks and two homers allowed, and Kyle Finnegan yielded his first run as a Tiger on Álvarez’s eighth-inning blast.
• Gleyber Torres logged his 1,000th career hit as part of a three-hit day, but Detroit has dropped five straight and eight of nine, drawing boos from a near-sellout crowd and reducing its division lead to two games with seven remaining.
