Colorado Rockies at Detroit Tigers

Detroit beat Colorado 6-2 at Comerica Park, riding six scoreless innings from Framber Valdez and a three-run sixth that broke the game open. Valdez scattered two strikeouts across 90 pitches, allowing zero earned runs to earn the win. Kenley Jansen recorded the save. Mason Adams gave Colorado five innings and five strikeouts on 77 pitches, surrendering one earned run and exiting with a 3.38 ERA. The K model had Adams projected at five strikeouts, and he hit that mark exactly. Valdez finished with two strikeouts, well below his projection. The Tigers scored three in the sixth. Riley Greene tripled to bring home Gleyber Torres, then Dillon Dingler homered to left, plating Greene. That made it 5-1. Max Clark had gone deep in the fifth on a fly ball to right, his third of the year. The NRFI model carried a neutral lean, and the first inning featured scoring. Dingler finished 1-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, and a run. Clark went 1-for-2 with a solo shot and scored twice. Greene was 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, and two RBI.
