Overview
- The Marlins beat the Tigers 6-4 in 11 innings, with 28-year-old rookie Troy Johnston homering twice, including the two-run walk-off.
- Detroit briefly led in the 11th after a Spencer Torkelson single and a Wenceel Pérez double, but failed to add on and Torkelson was later tagged out at home on a ricochet off the backstop.
- Rafael Montero allowed the decisive homer after Tommy Kahnle and Will Vest delivered three scoreless frames in relief.
- Tigers starter Charlie Morton yielded two runs in four innings with four walks, continuing a rough stretch that has pushed his four-start ERA to 9.19.
- The loss dropped Detroit to 84-65 and a three-game skid, heightening concerns after recent injuries to Tarik Skubal and Javier Baez; the series finale is Sunday with Miami set to start Adam Mazur and Detroit yet to name a starter.
