Tigers Struggle at Comerica Park as Braves' Early Surge Seals Victory
First Inning
The Detroit Tigers faced a challenging start against the Atlanta Braves at Comerica Park. The Braves quickly took control, scoring 3 runs in the first inning. The Tigers' starting pitcher struggled to find his rhythm, allowing 2 hits and a home run that set the tone for the game.
Second Inning
The second inning saw more of the same as the Bravos continued their offensive onslaught with another 3 runs. Despite efforts from Tigers' fielders like Spencer Torkelson, who maintained a perfect fielding percentage in previous games, they couldn't contain Atlanta's aggressive batting lineup.
Fourth Inning
In an attempt to rally back, Motor City Kitties managed to score their only run in the fourth inning. Gleyber Torres contributed with consistent hitting prowess from previous performances but was unable to spark a larger comeback.
Eighth and Ninth Innings
