0:00It's May 3rd, Encore with the story. This is MLB News Today, driven by AI and Dild for baseball fans. Detroit Tigers straight dominated the Texas Rangers 5-1 last night. Dylan Dingler launched a massive 3-run homer in the first inning. His sixth of the season, blasting at 443 feet to left. Field off Kumar Rocker. Kevin McGonigal and Glebert Torres added RBI singles in the second to build that early lead. Kaira Montero was sharp on the mound, going six and two-thirds innings on just 85 pitches. His longest start this year, while scattering. Five hits, including one homer. Tiger's speed showed up too, swiping four bases for the first time since May 28th, 2023, with Wensel Pérez and McGonigal, getting their early steals against Rocker, who got yanked after two rough innings and five runs allowed. Drew Anderson slammed the door with the final seven-ounce. Rocker burned through 43 pitches in his shortest outing of 2026.
