Tigers Top Athletics 2-1, Hurter Shines

Brant Hurter pitched effectively for the Detroit Tigers in their 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics, allowing just one run over 5 1/3 innings. This win improves the Tigers' record to 72-71, marking their first time over .500 since 2016 as they chase a potential wild card spot. Hurter's performance included four hits allowed, one walk, and three strikeouts, showcasing his reliability in a bulk relief role. The Tigers secured the win by capitalizing on an error in the seventh inning, where Dillon Dingler and Parker Meadows drove in the necessary runs. Oakland's Brady Basso delivered a strong start but could not secure a win, as they fell for the third time in four games. The A's continue their transition towards relocation, playing in their final homestand before moving to Sacramento next season.
