Detroit’s farm system rode a solid Thursday, with Erie SeaWolves rolling to a 10-2 win in New Hampshire while Toledo dipped to 5-4 against St. Paul in Urquidy’s rehab start. Urquidy showed 92-93 mph velocity but command lagged, triggering a midgame delay and a short outing. Jace Jung and Trei Cruz sparked late offense for the Mud Hens, Valencia knocked in three on a homer, and Sawyer Gipson-Long offered 3 clean innings for the SeaWolves. The Whitecaps and Loons squeezed out wins in tight games, keeping the pipeline humming for Detroit.

The Tigers’ depth chart shined through a mix of contact and power—Jung and Cruz chipped in, Malloy swiped a bag and scored in a tense tie, while Valencia’s multi-RBI showing underscored a flexible, streaky lineup. With Urquidy’s return nearing, Detroit can project bullpen and rotation depth, especially as the SeaWolves, Whitecaps, and Loons push toward late-season form. The system’s blend of offense and pitching continues to offer intriguing dynasty and keeper appeal.
