The Tigers are riding high after a big win on a rain-soaked Friday night at the ballpark. After a back-and-forth start against the Reds in the first game of the weekend set, a big sixth inning gave the home die an advantage. Detroit put up four runs in the frame, adding four more over the next two innings, to pull away and win 11-5.

Reds starter Brady Singer, who made a career out of beating the Tigers while pitching in Kansas City, improved to 7-1 against Detroit with a 3.16 ERA in 14 career starts. Singer (7-4) gave up just four hits in six innings on this day, allowing a fourth-inning run after a pair of walks and two-out hit by Wenceel Perez.
