Overview

  • Báez reached his 10-year major league service milestone by hitting solo homers in the fifth and seventh innings for his 12th career multi-homer game.
  • Detroit’s offense also featured a two-run blast by Wenceel Pérez and a 436-foot solo shot from Riley Greene to overturn a 3-2 deficit.
  • Casey Mize improved to 7-2 by allowing three runs on five hits over six innings with four strikeouts and no walks.
  • Báez’s insurance homer traveled 410 feet off reliever Carmen Mlodzinski, giving the Tigers breathing room late in the game.
  • Alexander Canario entered in right field when Bryan Reynolds left after his wife went into labor, creating an unexpected in-game substitution.
