Tigers Dominate Athletics in Six to One Win | Oakland Athletics News

The Detroit Tigers are crushing it, rolling to their fourth straight win with a 6-1 demolition of the struggling Athletics. Troy Melton dominated for 5⅓ innings, striking out nine while allowing just one unearned run. Jake Rogers crushed his second homer of the season, Spencer Torkelson added his 15th, and the Tigers are now 7-1 in their last 8 games. The A’s are in freefall—losing five in a row and nine of ten—with Jeffrey Springs taking the loss after giving up six runs in under five innings. Both teams dealt with injuries: the A’s pulled first baseman Nick Kurtz due to illness, and the Tigers’ catcher Dillon Dingler exited after a foul tip injury. The Tigers are riding this wave into tonight’s finale—momentum is real, and they’re showing why they’re the team to watch.
