After a rough shutout loss in Wednesday evening’s game, the Tigers were hoping to wrangle a series win against the A’s on Thursday afternoon. They turned to newly called-up Dietrich Enns to take the start, while the A’s relied on Jeffrey Springs.
In the first, Enns got the A’s out in order. For the Tigers it was much the same against Springs, and they went three-up, three-down.
Gio Urshela got a two-out walk for the A’s in the second, but a groundout ended the inning without any damage done. In the home half, Spencer Torkelson kicked things off in a big way (and a nice sign given his recently sluggish bat), with a solo home run.
