The Tigers took a 1-0 lead with an unearned run in the first inning. Zack McKinstry led off with a walk, and Kerry Carpenter followed with a chopper to the right of second base. Carlos Correa fielded the ball cleanly but his throw on the run was wide of first base, allowing McKinstry to take third. He then scored on Torkelson’s sacrifice fly.
They doubled their lead in the fourth when Torkelson hit a leadoff single and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Justyn-Henry Mellow.
Padres 2, Rockies 0 >> Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a 424-foot leadoff home run and made a nice game-ending catch, Jason Heyward also went deep and Kyle Hart and three relievers combined on a four-hitter for NL West-leading San Diego, which shut out Colorado for the second straight game.

Phillies 4, Cardinals 1 >> Nick Castellanos had a two-run double to stake his team to an early lead, and Philadelphia turned five double plays in a win over St. Louis.

White Sox 3, Red Sox 2 >> Pinch-hitter Brooks Baldwin lined an RBI single off Boston closer Aroldis Chapman with one out in the bottom of the ninth, lifting Chicago to a win.
