Tigers hit 5 home runs and hold off Rays 10-9 to halt skid behind Dingler,

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) --- Dillon Dingler hit two of Detroit's season-high
five homers, Riley Greene was a triple shy of the cycle and the Tigers stopped
a four-game skid by holding off the Tampa Bay Rays 10-9 on Monday night.
Dingler had four hits and drove in four runs. Kerry Carpenter also went deep
and finished with three hits and two RBIs. Greene was 3 for 4 with a walk and
three RBIs.
That trio combined to hit three consecutive homers in the third inning. The
previous time Detroit launched three straight homers was Aug. 8, 2020, when
Miguel Cabrera, C.J. Cron and Jeimer Candelario connected at Pittsburgh.
Hao-Yu Lee also homered for the Tigers (23-38), who avoided falling 17 games
under .500. The most games under .500 for a team rebounding to make the
playoffs was 16 by the 1914 Boston Braves, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
