Tigers Defeat Red Sox 4-1, Clinch Series

The Detroit Tigers secured a 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox, with Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene each hitting two-run home runs. This win marked the Tigers' eighth victory in their last ten games and brought them within half a game of the Red Sox in the AL Wild Card race. Brant Hurter was pivotal in relief, pitching five innings and allowing just one run to earn his third win of the season. Despite Red Sox starter Cooper Criswell's strong performance in the first four innings, he was removed after a walk led to Torkelson's homer, which shifted the momentum to Detroit. Greene's home run in the sixth solidified the Tigers' lead and marked his 20th of the season, achieving a personal milestone. The Tigers' win also clinched their first series victory over the Red Sox since 2021, as they continue to chase a playoff spot.
