Tigers' Montero Pitches Shutout in 11-0 Victory

Detroit Tigers rookie right-hander Keider Montero delivered a complete game shutout in an 11-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night, marking the team's first shutout since 2021. Montero, who struck out five and allowed only three hits without issuing any walks, faced the minimum 27 batters due to three double-play balls. The Tigers' offense was led by Parker Meadows, who hit a leadoff home run, and multi-RBI contributions from Riley Greene, Matt Vierling, and Andy Ibanez. This win improves the Tigers' record to 74-71 and helps them maintain their position in the American League playoff race, remaining three games behind the Minnesota Twins. Detroit has not made the playoffs since 2014 but continues to capitalize on opportunities against lower-ranked teams like the Rockies.
