Overview

  • Cleveland won its ninth straight by routing Minnesota 6-0 in Game 1 of a doubleheader, hitting a season-high five home runs behind seven scoreless innings from Slade Cecconi.
  • José Ramírez reached 30 homers to complete another 30-30 season, becoming the first player in franchise history to do it three times.
  • Atlanta rallied to beat Detroit 6-5 with Nacho Alvarez Jr. hitting his first two MLB homers and a two-out, two-strike game-tying single in the ninth before Jurickson Profar’s go-ahead hit.
  • Spencer Torkelson’s 31st home run briefly put the Tigers ahead, but Detroit dropped its fifth straight and eighth in nine.
  • The Tigers activated reliever Kyle Finnegan from the 15-day IL this weekend; he allowed a solo homer in his first outing back after Bailey Horn was optioned to Triple-A to clear a roster spot.
