Atlanta Braves vs. Detroit Tigers: Game Highlights

The Tigers went 0-6 on their last homestand of the season, losing by a combined score of 36-14. They have lost nine of their last 10 as their lead in the American League Central has dropped to one game over the Cleveland Guardians.

Spencer Strider (7-13) pitched five scoreless innings, allowing six hits and three walks while striking out six. Six Atlanta relievers finished the game.

Casey Mize (14-6) gave up three runs on five hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings.

The Braves scored a run in three straight innings — the third through fifth — and the Tigers couldn't get the key hit they needed.

Tanner Rainey made his Tigers debut to start Atlanta's three-run ninth inning. He allowed two walks and an RBI double without getting an out. Paul Sewald relieved him with the score at 4-0 and allowed a sacrifice fly and an RBI double.

The game was delayed 27 minutes by rain during the seventh-inning stretch.

Key moment The Braves threatened in the seventh, but left the bases loaded. During the inning, second base umpire Alfonso Marquez ruled Drake Baldwin was out on a 3-6 force play at second, but replays showed Zach McKinstry came off the bag before catching Torkelson's throw. The Braves had already used their challenge.
