Game Updates
The Detroit Tigers unleashed a relentless offensive barrage on Tuesday night, demolishing the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-2 in a game that was over before it began. Riley Greene led the charge with a perfect 3-for-3 performance, including a home run and three RBIs, while Wenceel Perez wreaked havoc with three hits, four runs scored, and an RBI. The Tigers' lineup feasted on Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt, chasing him after just 4.2 innings with seven runs on 11 hits—including a backbreaking three-run homer from Zach McKinstry that blew the game open. Detroit's bullpen then slammed the door, with Brant Hurter and Luke Jackson combining for 5.1 scoreless frames to seal Arizona's fate.
Arizona's only bright spots came from Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte, who each collected two hits, but their efforts were drowned out by a nightmarish pitching performance. The loss drops the Diamondbacks further behind in the playoff hunt, while the Tigers' explosive offense—now averaging over six runs per game in July—sends a clear message to the AL Central: this team is heating up at the right time.
