Ha-Seong Kim and Danny Jansen had run-scoring doubles during a four-run sixth and the visiting Tampa Bay Rays snapped Detroit's five-game winning streak with a 7-3 win on Wednesday.
Junior Caminero had a solo homer and scored two runs as the Rays salvaged the finale of the three-game series. Jonathan Aranda had three of the team's 16 hits. Zack Littell (8-7) gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings.
Zach McKinstry, named as an All-Star replacement on Wednesday, had two doubles and an RBI for Detroit. Tigers starter Reese Olson gave up two runs and six hits in five innings.
The Rays grabbed a quick 2-0 lead. Aranda, the second batter of the game, doubled and moved to third on Caminero's single. Josh Lowe's groundout to first brought home Aranda. Caminero scored on Jake Mangum's two-out single to left field.
The Tigers took the lead with three runs in the fourth. Gleyber Torres led off with a double and moved to third on a Wenceel Perez single. Spencer Torkelson knocked in the first run with a single to left and McKinstry doubled to right to score Perez. After Matt Vierling walked to load the bases, Parker Meadows hit into a fielder's choice as Torkelson crossed the plate.
The Rays drew two walks in the fifth but Olson kept his team on top by inducing a double play ball from Caminero.
Tampa Ray rallied for four runs in the sixth against relievers Brant Hurter and Chase Lee to gain a 6-3 advantage. Mangum sparked it with a one-out single and steal of second. After Lee (4-1) entered, Kim doubled to center to knot the score and he would come home on Taylor Walls' single. Jansen's two-bagger to left brought in Walls and Yandy Diaz finished it off with a run-scoring single.
Caminero blasted his 22nd homer of the season over the left field wall off Lee while leading off the seventh. The Tigers had a chance to rally in the bottom of the inning as they loaded the bases with two out. Garrett Cleavinger then struck out All-Star Riley Greene to snuff out the threat.
