They exploded for six runs in the first inning against Framber Valdez, batting around and building a huge lead early. Bailey overpicked up his first win, going five and two-thirds innings while allowing just two runs. The bullpen stepped up too, with Cody Lawerson, Cody Funderberg grabbing his third career save, and others slamming the door to hold off a late. Tigers rally. Fans are buzzing about the twins' dominance in this AL Central matchup, putting them on the brink of a four-game sweep. Bucksdon's speed and timely hits kept Detroit on their heels all game. Valdez had a rough one, matching his career worst by giving up eight runs on 10 hits and two walks in just five innings.
