Ezequiel Duran’s bases-loaded triple with two outs in the top of the ninth inning rallied the Texas Rangers to a stunning 3-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night at Comerica Park in Detroit. It’s the Tigers 5th straight loss, and sixth loss in the last seven games.
The loss overshadowed a great pitching performance by Tigers starting pitcher Beau Briske. The rookie threw seven innings of three-hit ball. Briske struck out six while walking two in 94 pitches thrown. Eric Haase and Miguel Cabrera each had two hits for the Tigers.
Game 2 of the four game series is tonight at 7:10 at Comerica Park. Tarik Skubal starts for the Tigers against Jon Gray for the Rangers.
