DETROIT (AP) --- Dillon Dingler hit a three-run homer, Keider Montero pitched
into the seventh inning and the Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 on
Saturday night.
Dingler's sixth longball of the season was a 443-foot shot to left in the first
inning off Kumar Rocker (1-2). Kevin McGonigle and Gleyber Torres each had RBI
singles in the second for the Tigers.
Montero (2-2) worked 6 2/3 innings and needed just 85 pitches in his longest
start this season. He allowed Jake Burger's homer in the fourth among five
hits, walked two and struck out two.
Drew Anderson got the final seven outs.
Rocker was done after two innings, allowing five runs on six hits and throwing
43 pitches in his shortest outing of 2026.
Wenceel Prez and McGonigle stole bases against Rocker in the second. Prez
swiped another bag in the eighth as the Tigers stole four bases in a game for
the first time since May 28, 2023.
