Baltimore entered the series after an 8‑5 win the previous night, buoyed by three home runs from Coby Mayo. Detroit’s lineup featured a removal of third‑base star Gleyber Torres, who had been hitting .270 with four homers and 18 RBIs in 49 games. The Tigers have won six of their last ten games and are 29‑25 at home.
