The Tigers took an early lead on Torres' two-run homer in the first inning.

Detroit then scored nine runs in the third. Riley Greene hit a two-run single scored when it skipped past Abreu in right field and rolled to the wall. Sweeney added a three-run homer later in the inning.

Houck faced 11 batters in the inning and got just one out before being replaced by Sean Newcomb.

Key moment Jobe looked to be in serious trouble when he walked Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman to load the bases in the third. Kristian Campbell and Abreu each hit the ball hard — with exit velocities over 100 mph — but Carpenter snagged Campbell's sinking liner to right and Torres made a routine play on Abreu's grounder.

Key stat Detroit hadn't scored 11 runs in the first three innings since a 14-8 win over the Oakland Athletics on Sept. 8, 2008.
