Montero shines as Tigers beat Rangers 5-1

Keider Montero delivered a quality start, tossing 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 5-1 win over the Texas Rangers.

Montero allowed just one run on five hits while striking out two across 6 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old righty kept the Rangers off the board until Jake Burger homered in the fourth.

The Tigers' offense provided early support, highlighted by Dillon Dingler's three-run home run. However, second baseman Gleyber Torres left the game early due to left side tightness. The series concludes Sunday with a bullpen game for Detroit. milkshakeslot.lat
