Detroit Tigers Complete Series Sweep with Comeback Win in Cleveland

The Detroit Tigers continue their dominant 2025 MLB season, recently achieving a 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, powered by home runs from Javier Baez, Colt Keith, and Zach McKinstry, pushing their record to 24 games over .500—their best since 2013. Their offense ranks highly in the league, with Riley Greene leading in home runs and RBIs, while their pitching staff is among the best, with Tarik Skubal showing Cy Young-caliber performance. The Tigers completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians with a dramatic comeback in extra innings, highlighted by McKinstry's steal home on a wild pitch and Trey Sweeney's go-ahead three-run homer. Skubal’s strong pitching, along with clutch hitting by Javier Báez and Greene, were crucial in the 7-2 victory that extended Detroit's winning streak. This sweep demonstrated the Tigers' resilience and ability to capitalize on opportunities, positioning them as a formidable team for the postseason. Meanwhile, in local sports, the Gippsland League netball competition remains competitive with Moe and Morwell leading the standings, and notable performances from players like Ashlea Mawer and Holly Stephens.
