On the mound for Detroit, Mason Englert earned his first win of the season despite allowing some runs during his outing. The bullpen faced challenges but managed to hold off Toronto's late-game surge. Jason Foley and Yimi García were credited with blown saves but ultimately helped secure victory for Detroit.


Toronto's offense also had its moments of brilliance, particularly in an explosive eighth inning where they scored five runs to narrow Detroit's lead. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s powerful hitting kept Toronto within striking distance throughout much of the game.
