The Tigers come into Sunday with a chance to take the series after another tight game with the Angels on Saturday. LA went up by two early in the game, before Detroit responded with two runs of their own in the second. After the two teams traded runs in the third inning, the Tigers were able to take their first lead of the game in the fifth. They were able to hold onto that lead, coming out with a 4-3 win.
Riley Greene, Kody Clemens and Victor Reyes each had two hits in the game, with Reyes also picking up an RBI. Tyler Alexander pitched a couple of great innings on Friday, allowing the three runs in six innings, picking up his third win of the season.
