US EditionTigers Pour It on in Rain-Soaked 9th Inning, Beat Rays to Avoid Sweep
- The Detroit Tigers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 9-3 on Sunday, June 22, at George M. Steinbrenner Field, snapping a three-game losing streak and avoiding a series sweep.
- The Tigers built an early 3-1 advantage thanks to Casey Mize’s five strong innings allowing just one run, and a two-run home run by Wenceel Perez against Garrett Cleavinger during the seventh frame.
- The game featured key contributions from Riley Greene, who had three hits including two doubles, and Parker Meadows, who hit a three-run homer during a rain-soaked sixth-run ninth inning rally after an 11-minute weather delay.
- Mize exited the game after 80 pitches in the sixth inning due to a right leg cramp but avoided injury, while reliever Tyler Holton earned the win with a scoreless sixth inning and Brenan Hanifee closed out the game.
- The victory improved Detroit's record to 49-30 and underscored their resilience and bullpen depth, while the Rays rallied late but fell short despite loading the bases in the ninth inning.
