The Detroit Tigers suffered a heartbreaking 7-6 loss to the Oakland Athletics in a grueling 13-inning game at Oakland Coliseum on Friday night. The Tigers were led offensively by Riley Greene, who went 4-for-6 with 2 RBIs and a run scored, and Parker Meadows, who chipped in with a 2-RBI double and two hits. Despite totaling 12 hits, the Tigers couldn't capitalize on enough scoring chances, stranding numerous runners on base. Tarik Skubal delivered a strong start, pitching 5.2 innings with two earned runs and seven strikeouts, but the bullpen struggled to maintain the lead. Beau Brieske was tagged with the loss after allowing the game-winning run in the 13th inning. Oakland's Brent Rooker drove in two key runs as part of his 3-for-5 night, while Seth Brown blasted a crucial two-run homer in the 11th inning to tie the game. The Athletics took advantage of clutch hits and capitalized on Tigers' mistakes to secure the win. With this defeat, Detroit’s record falls to 71-71, highlighting a tough battle as the team continues its efforts to stay competitive in the season's final stretch.
