Morton struck out 10 in 4 1/3 innings but allowed six runs on seven hits and one walk as Detroit fell 7-4 to the Angels at Comerica Park. At 41 years old, Morton became the oldest Tiger to log a 10-strikeout game, fanning 10 with a 44.4% whiff rate on 45 swings and a fastball that averaged 94.2 mph, though two Angels homers spoiled the line.

Javier Báez saved the day for Detroit with a 3-for-4 night, including a double and a stolen base, and a first-inning RBI that helped the Tigers grab an early lead. Detroit tied it at 4-4 in the fourth with back-to-back hits and a Torres RBI double, but LA answered with Jo Adell’s three-run homer in the fourth and Taylor Ward’s two-run shot in the fifth to seize control. Rafael Montero worked in relief for Detroit, while Codi Heuer debuted with a solo homer surrendered to Luis Rengifo in the eighth, sealing the Angels’ win. The result leaves Detroit at 67-51 with 17 losses in 25 games, as the Angels head into the series finale with momentum.
