The Detroit Tigers concluded their four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels with a commanding 13-1 victory on Sunday, securing a 3-1 series win at Angel Stadium. This decisive win followed a 5-2 loss on Saturday, where the Tigers' offense struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

In Sunday's game, Detroit's bats came alive, with Trey Sweeney leading the charge by collecting four hits and driving in six runs. Kerry Carpenter and Colt Keith each added home runs, contributing to the team's season-high run total. On the mound, Reese Olson delivered 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out eight, effectively stifling the Angels' lineup.

Detroit's strong offensive performance has been instrumental in its recent success, propelling them to a 22-13 record and maintaining its position atop the American League Central division.

Following the win, the Tigers took to social media to announce a historic achievement—the team has now hit 20 home runs over their last seven games—their most in any seven-game stretch since September 2004.

The Tigers' recent surge has been fueled by a potent offense and solid pitching, positioning them as strong contenders in the early stages of the season. Conversely, the Angels continue to struggle, falling to 13-20 and remaining at the bottom of the AL West standings. Despite a brief respite with a 5-2 win on Saturday, the Angels have lost eight of their last ten games. Injuries have further compounded their challenges, with Mike Trout currently on the injured list.

Detroit will resume action against the Colorado Rockies, aiming to extend its winning streak. The Angels, meanwhile, will host the Seattle Mariners, seeking to reverse their fortunes and climb out of the division cellar.
