The Tigers showcased their offensive capabilities early on, marking their presence with one run in the first inning followed by a significant surge in the fourth and fifth innings where they scored three runs each.

The Angels attempted to mount a comeback in the ninth inning by scoring five runs but ultimately fell short. Their effort was highlighted by six hits allowed and six earned runs conceded by Detroit's bullpen over just 3.2 innings pitched.
