He recorded his first strikeout, against Bobby Witt Jr., but struggled with four runs allowed in the second inning, ultimately leading to a 11-7 loss to the Kansas City Royals. This marked the fifth consecutive loss for the Tigers (61-69), who now trail eight games in a row. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch admitted, \"We picked a bad week to have a bad week.\" The Royals (58-74), however, extended their winning streak to eight games.",
