Detroit Tigers Defeat San Diego Padres 6-4

The Detroit Tigers defeated the San Diego Padres 6-4 on Monday night, marking their fourth win in five games and continuing a strong start at home with a 9-2 record at Comerica Park. Detroit jumped out early, scoring two runs in each of the first three innings and capitalizing on Padres starter Randy Vásquez's struggles with control. Gleyber Torres and Zach McKinstry each contributed three hits, with McKinstry nearly hitting for the cycle and maintaining his lead for most triples in the American League. Tigers starter Keider Montero allowed four runs over 4 1/3 innings but was supported by effective relief pitching, particularly from Brenan Hanifee and Will Vest, who earned the save. The win came against the Padres, who entered the game with the best record in baseball, and extended the Tigers' streak of series-opening wins to seven. The teams are set to meet again for two more games this week.
