Detroit's Max Clark broke through with his first home run at Comerica Park, propelling the Tigers to a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night. The Tigers' pitching staff delivered an impressive performance, combining for just one run allowed. The team's star starter, Jackson Jobe, lasted 4 1/3 innings, allowing only one run.
Relievers Drew Sommers, Kenley Jansen, and others also played pivotal roles, allowing only one hit throughout. Young ace Ian Seymour (9-5) had a solid outing, giving up just three earned runs over 5 2/3 innings, while fellow pitcher Kenley Jansen secured the win with his 17th save of the season. The Rays, meanwhile, have struggled, losing eight of their last 12 games.
With this win, Detroit ends a six-game losing streak and moves closer to the third AL wild card position. Detroit will face Tampa Bay again in the final game of their three-game series on Wednesday.
