Detroit's offense came alive in the third inning when they scored three runs off four hits. This momentum continued into the fourth inning as they added another three runs with two hits, demonstrating their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Despite being held scoreless for several innings thereafter, the Tigs managed to break through again in the tenth inning with two crucial runs that sealed their victory.


Spencer Torkelson played a pivotal role for Detroit, contributing significantly with his performance at first base and driving in a run. Meanwhile, Javier Báez maintained his impressive form from previous games by hitting .400 and maintaining a perfect fielding percentage of 1.0.

Rockies' Early Lead


The Colorado Rockies started strong by scoring two runs in both the first and third innings, taking advantage of Detroit's starting pitcher Jackson Jobe's struggles on the mound. Jobe had an ERA of 14.727 during this outing but was relieved effectively by Detroit’s bullpen which kept Colorado scoreless from the sixth inning onward.


Colorado’s offensive efforts were led by consistent hitting throughout most of their lineup as they accumulated thirteen hits over ten innings but failed to convert these into enough runs due to solid defensive plays from Detroit’s fielders like Gleyber Torres who also contributed offensively with an RBI single.

Despite having more hits than their opponents (13 compared to Detroit's 10), errors proved costly for Colorado as one miscue allowed additional baserunners that eventually led to decisive scores against them.
