The game kicked off with both teams' pitchers dueling it out, leading to a scoreless first inning. Our Tigers were laying low, maybe a bit too low, with Riley Greene, Mark Canha, and Wenceel Perez unable to spark our offense early on. But hey, every good story needs a buildup, right?Tigers Pounce in the Second
The second inning was where the action heated up! A slight misstep by Marlins' shortstop Vidal Bruján set the stage for our boys. Kerry Carpenter singled, and thanks to that error, he reached second.

The Marlins weren't going down without a fight. In the 5th inning, they clawed back, tying the game at 3-3. It was a nail-biter, as Josh Bell and Jesus Sanchez chipped in runs for Miami. Our pitchers were in a jam, but they gritted through.A Late Game Twist
By the 8th inning, the Marlins took a 5-3 lead, thanks to a two-run homer by Otto Lopez. Things were looking grim for our Tigers. But in true Detroit fashion, we didn't give in. Wenceel Perez doubled, setting the stage for Andy Ibanez to narrow the gap with a key RBI.Torkelson Delivers the Knockout
The highlight of the night came when Spencer Torkelson stepped up to the plate. With the pressure mounting, Tork threw down a monstrous 446-foot homer, bringing Ibanez in as well and flipping the score to 6-5 in favor of the Tigers!
