Tigers Sweep Doubleheader, Clinch Series Win Over Newman

The Detroit Tigers secured back-to-back victories over the Kansas City Royals, winning 6-1 on Thursday and 7-3 on Friday. Spencer Torkelson was a key contributor in both games, driving in three runs on Thursday and adding a two-run double on Friday. Riley Greene also played a significant role, breaking out of a slump with multiple hits and RBIs, while Andy Ibanez added a solo homer in Friday's game. Detroit's pitching staff performed well, with Reese Olson and Jackson Jobe earning wins on consecutive nights, and Tommy Kahnle picking up saves in both games. The Royals, meanwhile, struggled offensively and have now lost five straight games. Kansas City's pitching was unable to contain Detroit's lineup, and their bullpen faced further setbacks due to injury.
