Tigers Narrowly Miss Victory in Extra Innings Against Nationals at Comerica Park

In a closely contested match at Comerica Park, the Detroit Tigers and the Washington Nationals battled through ten innings, with the final score settling at 5-4 in favor of the visitors. The Tigers now stand at 32-34 for the season, while the Nationals improved their record to 31-35.

The game was marked by a significant inning for both teams. The Tigers showcased their offensive capabilities in the fifth inning, scoring four runs off six hits throughout the game but were hindered by two errors on their part. Despite these efforts, it was not enough to secure a win against the Nationals who also had five hits but capitalized on their opportunities to score five runs.

The pitching performance from both sides was noteworthy. The Tigers' bullpen worked hard over six innings, posting an ERA of 3.0 with six strikeouts and maintaining a WHIP of 0.6667. However, it was Kyle Finnegan from the Nationals who clinched the win for his team, marking his second win of the season alongside three losses and eighteen saves.

Defensively, both teams had moments they would prefer to forget with each committing two errors over ten innings. These mistakes ultimately played a role in extending this nail-biter into extra innings before reaching its conclusion.
