Texas took Game 1 5-4 on Friday, breaking a 4-4 tie in the eighth inning when Alejandro Osuna lined a go-ahead RBI double after Jake Burger’s leadoff two-bagger. Josh Jung drove in two runs, and Danny Jansen homered, while the Rangers bullpen covered 5.1 innings to secure the win. The victory moved Texas back to 16-16, and it was an encouraging sign for a club that had dropped three of its previous four entering the series. Saturday’s projected starter is Kumar Rocker (1-2, 3.38 ERA), who has delivered quality starts in each of his last two outings.

Detroit fell to 16-17 with the loss despite rallying from an early 4-0 deficit. The Tigers scored three times in the fourth inning and tied the game in the fifth, showing the resilience that helped fuel a strong start at home this season. Keider Montero (1-2, 4.00 ERA) is expected to start Saturday, while Detroit will again lean on bats like Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, and a lineup that has been significantly better at Comerica Park than on the road. With the Tigers trying to avoid dropping consecutive home games and the Rangers chasing traction in the AL West race, this matchup has the feel of an important early-May swing game.
