The sixth inning saw another run added by the Tigers through two hits and an error by their opponents. Throughout this offensive onslaught, Detroit amassed a total of ten hits.

On top of their batting success, pitching was where Detroit truly shined. Tarik Skubal led from the mound with an exceptional performance that earned him his seventh win against only one loss for this season. Over nine innings pitched across all pitchers combined for Detroit, they limited Pittsburgh to just three hits and one walk while striking out ten batters—a testament to their control and power.
