In said inning, left fielder LaMonte Wade Jr. doubled home a run, which designated hitter Yordan Álvarez later followed with a two-run single. An eighth-inning RBI single from Lucas Spence got Houston to 11 runs. Center fielder Jakob Marsee had an RBI double, which catcher Joe Mack later followed with a two-run single and second baseman Xavier Edwards followed with an RBI single. Athletics catcher Jonah Heim hit an RBI single in the bottom of the first, and it was all Tigers after that — it just took a couple of hours. After three consecutive runners reached base, shortstop Geraldo Perdomo pulled off an RBI single, with catcher Gabriel Moreno then smacking a two-run single and second baseman Ketel Marte adding an RBI single for good measure.
