The Detroit Tigers concluded their road series against the Los Angeles Angels with a dominant offensive performance Sunday, securing a 13-1 victory. The win gave the Tigers three victories in the four-game set at Angel Stadium.
Shortstop Trey Sweeney contributed significantly to the outburst, hitting a three-run home run as part of a four-hit, six-RBI day. It was Sweeney's second home run in three days, highlighting a stretch of productivity for the infielder.
The offensive display capped a high-scoring series for Detroit, which plated 34 runs against the Angels pitching staff. The performance demonstrated a power surge not consistently seen from the club earlier in the season.
Beyond Sweeney, other Tigers also showed power. Kerry Carpenter hit a three-run homer in the same game. Carpenter finished with four hits and five RBIs. Colt Keith hit a two-run homer, his third home run in five days, contributing to the team's recent power output.
While known for aggressive baserunning and hitting gaps, the team showed it can also slug, particularly during the current road trip. The recent games underscore a versatility in the Tigers' approach at the plate.
The road trip involved games in multiple time zones, a demanding schedule that the team met with elevated performance at the plate.
The Tigers' schedule includes upcoming games, including a previously rained out game. A doubleheader is set for Thursday against the Colorado Rockies following a postponement."We can do it all," Kerry Carpenter said after the win. "And I think there’s a lot of guys that are coming into their own."
