In a compelling matchup, the Detroit Tigers secured a 7-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals, showcasing the prowess of rookie pitcher Jackson Jobe. After a rocky first inning, Jobe regained command, allowing a single run and striking out five over five innings. His performance marked his second career win.

The Tigers capitalized on their opponent's struggles, particularly targeting Cole Ragans, the major league strikeout leader, who was unable to finish the fifth inning after yielding three runs. Key contributions came from Andy Ibanez, who hit a solo homer, and Spencer Torkelson, who drove in runs with a double, solidifying the Tigers' lead as they aim for a series win.
