Detroit Tigers rout Minnesota Twins 7-0; Charlie Morton strikes out five over six innings
Charlie Morton gave up two hits and struck out five over six innings and the Detroit Tigers scored five runs in the first inning of a 7-0 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. Dillon Dingler hit a two-run single in the first, in which the Tigers batted around against Twins starter Pierson Ohl (0-3), who was making his fifth career start. An error by Minnesota second baseman Luke Keaschall led to four unearned runs. That was enough for 41-year-old right-hander Morton (8-10), who bounced back after a rough start against the Angels his last time out. Ohl, who faced Detroit earlier this month, lasted only 2 1/3 innings. Four of the seven total runs he surrendered were unearned. Dingler drove in his third run of the game with a double in the third. Javier Báez also drove in a pair of runs for the Tigers, who are leading the AL Central. Spencer Torkelson reached base three times and scored twice for Detroit. The start of Friday's game was delayed 26 minutes due to rain. Keaschall reached base three times, but his error in the first inning helped open the floodgates for the Tigers. It was the second error of his young 17-game MLB career. Friday was Morton's second start of the year in which he did not allow a run. He also put up a zero in a five-inning start against Baltimore in June. RHP Casey Mize (11-4, 3.50 ERA) starts the third game of the series for the Tigers and looks to win his third straight outing. The Twins counter with RHP Zebby Matthews (3-4, 5.11), who beat Detroit in his prior start against the Tigers this season.

Brooks Raley's rare rough outing hurts Mets in loss to Mariners
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free Brooks Raley has added a strong lefty presence to the Mets' bullpen since returning from the injured list in July, but the veteran reliever had his first rocky outing of the season in Friday's 11-9 loss to the Mariners. After 10 consecutive scoreless appearances following his activation from the IL in the wake of 2024 Tommy John surgery, Raley was charged with three earned runs after allowing one inherited runner from Ryan Helsley to score in the Mariners' five-run seventh inning. Advertisement 'Guys are working hard, there's no doubt about that. All of us want the ball with the game on the line,' Raley said. 'Just not really executing and gotta make better pitches. Everything gets magnified in the kind of a stretch that we're in.' 3 Brooks Raley gets removed in the seventh inning of the Mets' loss on Friday night. Robert Sabo for NY Post Helsley gave up a 6-5 lead to start the inning and was replaced by Raley, who was booed by the home crowd as he left the mound after giving up RBI hits to Dominic Canzone and Donovan Solano and a two-run double to Cole Young for a 10-6 game. Advertisement 'I thought I executed pretty well. Got a ground ball from the first guy that just didn't find a glove, and then made some good pitches, but walked a guy, a ball off the wall in the middle of it,' Raley said. 3 Brooks Raley walks off the field after he was taken out of the game in the seventh inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Francisco Lindor at least appears to be through his recent slump with two home runs off Seattle starter Luis Castillo among a 3-for-5 night with four RBIs after also going deep Thursday night against Atlanta. Advertisement 'Executing. It comes down to execution,' said Lindor, who has eight hits in his past 10 games. 'I said the other day … the whole hitting department has been talking to me, and [Carlos] Mendoza, just helping me out and trying to push me to get better and to execute. 3 Francisco Lindor homered twice in Friday night's loss to the Mariners. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'That's what it has come down to, just getting the pitches and executing.' Lindor's opposite-field shot to left to open the first marked his seventh leadoff homer of the year, tying the franchise record set by Curtis Granderson in both 2015 and 2016. Advertisement The Mets held a pregame concert by a tribute band to honor the 60th anniversary of The Beatles' 1965 show at Shea Stadium. They also used photoshopped pics of their current players dressed up in 60s-era Beatles garb and haircuts on the scoreboard throughout the game.
