The Detroit Tigers snatched a dramatic 6-5 walk-off victory from the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night, overcoming a late deficit with a clutch ninth-inning rally. The Angels had seized momentum behind Jo Adell's towering home run and Gustavo Campero's two-run shot off Tarik Skubal, who labored through 4.2 innings while striking out six but surrendering four runs. But Detroit's resilience shone in the final frame when Matt Vierling—who had entered as a pinch-hitter—delivered a game-tying three-run homer with one swing, electrifying Comerica Park. Riley Greene (2-for-4) and Spencer Torkelson (solo HR) kept the Tigers alive earlier, setting the stage for Vierling's heroics.

The Angels' bullpen faltered at the worst moment, with Reid Detmers allowing three crucial runs without recording an out in the ninth. Kyle Finnegan, Detroit's closer, silenced Los Angeles in the top half to preserve the comeback chance. For the Tigers, the win marks a statement in their playoff push, while the Angels—despite Adell and Campero's power—now face questions about their late-game execution in tight contests.
