The Texas Rangers let a sweep of the Detroit Tigers slip through their fingers on Sunday night. But two out of three isn’t bad.

The Detroit Tigers were limited to four hits and lost, 2-0, to the Texas Rangers on Friday, July 18, in the opener of a three-game series at Globe Life Field. The Rangers scored both runs off Kahnle, a right-handed reliever, in the eighth inning.

Relief pitcher Chris Martin made an early exit during his appearance against the Tigers, appearing to tweak something in his right leg on a play in which the Tigers scored the go-ahead run off Martin in the eighth inning. He exited with Rangers’ training staff shortly after and was replaced by reliever Caleb Boushley.

The Detroit Tigers visit the Texas Rangers Sunday night in the final game of their 3-game series from Globe Life Field.

The Detroit Tigers will play their 100th game of the season on Sunday night in Arlington, Texas. The Tigers (59-40) and Rangers (50-49) wrap up their three-game series at 7:10 p.m. Eastern time at Globe Life Park. The Tigers have lost six games in a row, their longest skid since 2023.

The first seven innings had looked all too familiar for the Rangers. When they were given a great opportunity by the Tigers on a missed tag in the baselines and a throwing error in the third, giving them runners on the corners and one out, Josh Smith swung at a 3-0 pitch at the top of the zone for a pop-up. The inning died on a Seager strikeout.
