Introduction
The Detroit Tigers have a chance to take the weekend series from the Texas Rangers after a 5-1 win on Saturday night at Comerica Park.
Keider Montero gave Detroit 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball, and Dillon Dingler supplied the key swing with a three-run shot in the opening frame. That was enough to even the series and set up Sunday night’s rubber match.
Detroit will be without Casey Mize, who is on the injured list with a groin injury, so Tyler Holton gets the start. Based on his use so far, this is likely an opener role. Holton has averaged exactly one inning per outing in 2026 and has entered the game in the seventh or later in 10 of his 13 appearances.
His early work was sharp. Through his first seven games, he allowed zero runs on just four hits and four walks while striking out five over seven frames. His past six outings have gone the other way, as he has put up a 12.00 ERA with an 8.14 FIP while giving up 13 hits (two home runs) and four walks.
The Rangers will counter with Jack Leiter, who has given Texas at least five innings in five of his six starts. Leiter opened the season by allowing just three runs in 11 innings, but since then has posted an ERA of 6.64 and FIP of 6.53 over the last 20 1/3 frames.
Leiter last faced Detroit in his major league debut on April 4, 2023, in Detroit. In that game, he allowed seven runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over 3 2/3 frames in a 9-7 Texas loss.
