Tigers lose series to Brewers 5-1, drop second of season

The Detroit Tigers' promising road trip ended in disappointment as they dropped the final two games of their series against the Milwaukee Brewers, losing 5-0 and 5-1. In Tuesday's game, the Tigers managed only one hit—a double by Gleyber Torres—while the Brewers' pitching staff dominated, combining for a one-hitter and retiring the last 12 Detroit batters in order. On Wednesday, rookie Keider Montero showed flashes of potential with eight strikeouts and high spin rates on his breaking pitches but was hurt by three home runs, leaving the Tigers in an early deficit they couldn't overcome. The Tigers' offense struggled across both losses, failing to generate rallies and stranding key baserunners. These defeats snapped Detroit's four-series win streak and highlighted lingering inconsistency at the plate. The Brewers, meanwhile, continued their recent trend of impressive pitching performances, including their sixth consecutive season with a one-hitter.
