The Tigers added six runs off Forrest Whitley to open a 9-1 lead in the ninth, which also included an 18-minute rain delay. The Rays loaded the bases to start their half of the inning, but got only two runs on a single by Taylor Walls. The Rays dropped to 43-35 with the loss, and their majors-best record since May 20 fell to 22-9.

Tigers starter Casey Mize left a 1-1 game in the sixth after a visit from athletic trainer Kelly Rhoades, leaving with an undisclosed injury. He allowed one run and six hits in five innings, with no walks and five strikeouts.
