Fifth Inning


The pivotal moment for Detroit came in the fifth inning when they scored two runs off three hits. Spencer Torkelson and Andy Ibáñez played crucial roles during this surge, driving in runs that ultimately secured their team's lead and eventual victory.


Pitching Performance


Detroit's pitching staff delivered an impressive performance overall. Keider Montero started strong with a notable strikeout rate of nearly 15 per nine innings pitched and maintained control by allowing just five hits over four innings. The bullpen continued this dominance by conceding only two additional hits across five innings while keeping Boston scoreless for seven consecutive frames after their initial run.
