Detroit Tigers defeat Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 to end losing streak

The Detroit Tigers ended a six-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park. Max Clark provided a key offensive boost, hitting his second career home run, a two-run shot in the fifth inning that gave Detroit a 2-1 lead.

Detroit's pitching staff was highly effective, with five pitchers combining to allow only one run. Starter Jackson Jobe pitched 4 1/3 innings, while reliever Drew Sommers earned his first major league victory. Kenley Jansen secured his 17th save of the season.
