Tigers Blast Four Homers, Defeat Angels 9-1

The Detroit Tigers dominated the Los Angeles Angels with a 9-1 victory, highlighted by an explosive eight-run ninth inning featuring four home runs, including two by Riley Greene—a first in MLB history for a player in the ninth inning. Tarik Skubal anchored the Tigers with six strong innings after allowing a leadoff homer, and the late-game power surge turned a close pitchers' duel into a rout. The Angels' bullpen struggled for the second consecutive night, particularly with closer Kenley Jansen giving up multiple homers after a long layoff. Javier Báez, Colt Keith, and Trey Sweeney also contributed home runs, showcasing the Tigers’ offensive depth. The win maintained Detroit’s momentum in the series and further established the effectiveness of their lineup and pitching staff. A brief benches-clearing incident occurred following an exchange between Skubal and Angels’ Zach Neto, but no altercations ensued.
