Hao-Yu Lee hit his second home run of the season and initiated two double plays, helping the Tigers snap a four-game losing streak.

In today's matchup with the Rays, Tigers infielder Hao-Yu Lee crushed a home run in the sixth inning—his first in over a month—and orchestrated two double plays, contributing to a 10-9 win that stopped a four-game losing streak.

The Tigers' slumping offense finally showed signs of life, scoring two runs in the first inning on three hits. In the third, after a leadoff walk, Dillon Dingler, Kerry Carpenter, and Riley Greene blasted three consecutive home runs, adding four runs in the frame.

Junior Caminero cut the deficit with a two-run homer in the fourth, putting the Rays on the board. Dingler hit his second home run of the game in the fifth, pushing the score to 7-2. In the bottom of the fifth, with runners on base, the Rays grounded to second, and Lee turned a 4-6-3 double play to escape trouble.

In the top of the sixth, Lee—already solid on defense—delivered at the plate. On a 0-2 count, he timed a 94 mph fastball that was outside but elevated, pulling it over the fence for an opposite-field home run, making it 8-2. This was Lee's second career big-league homer and his first since April 27, ending a drought of over a month.

The Rays answered in the bottom of the sixth when Ryan Vilade smashed a three-run homer, trimming the margin to 5-8. In the seventh, Tampa Bay threatened again, but Lee initiated another 4-6-3 double play to kill their rally.

In the top of the eighth, Lee collected his second hit of the game, and Dingler drove him in with his fourth hit, scoring the ninth run. The Tigers added two more runs that inning, building a comfortable 10-5 lead. However, in the bottom of the eighth, reliever Beau Brieske issued three walks, opening the door for the Rays, who scored four runs on two hits to close to 9-10. In the top of the ninth, after a teammate walked, Lee came to the plate for his fifth at-bat and fought through seven pitches before flying out to the infield.

Will Vest, who pitched the eighth, returned for the ninth and retired two straight Rays batters to earn his first save of the season.

Starting at second base and batting eighth, Lee went 2-for-5, drove in one run, scored twice, and contributed two double plays in the field, making him a key factor in the Tigers' victory. His season batting average rose to .205, with nine RBIs and six runs scored.

The biggest factor in the Tigers' win was their six-run barrage powered by five home runs, with Dillon Dingler leading the way—four hits including two homers and four RBIs—ending their recent four-game losing streak. However, this was only Detroit's third game this season scoring at least ten runs. Since May 5, they have gone 5-21 in their last 26 games, leaving them with a 23-38 record, last in the AL Central and more than ten games behind the division-leading Guardians.
