After a lineout, a force out off the bat of Drew Millas eliminated Lile but left men at the corners. Jacob Young walked to load the bases, and then a Josh Bell walk forced a run in. Dylan Smith replaced Owens at that point, and got the final out of the Lara game out of the Nationals pen in the seventh and got the Tigers out in order. In the bottom of the seventh, Paul DeJong walked, followed by a single from Alex Call, then a twoout single to Brady House loaded the bases, but the Tigers got out of the jam and no additional runs the eighth, both the Tigers and Nationals went started the top of the ninth with a single, but three outs then followed to leave him stranded. While Rosario started the home half with a walk, the Tigers got the next three batters in order to finish the game and take the first W of the Two: Nationals 9, Tigers 4The evening game saw a more traditional pitching matchup of Jack Flaherty for the Tigers and Mackenzie Gore for the the top of the first, Jahmai Jones took a walk with two outs, but was ultimately left stranded. The home half of the inning was brutal for Flaherty. It was very obviously not his game almost right out of the gate. With one out, James Wood and Luis Garcia Jr. got backtoback singles. A Nathaniel Lowe single then brought Wood home and put the Nationals on the board first. Josh Bell singled to score Garcia. Then Paul DeJong walked. Blessedly, Daylen Lile hit into a double play to end the inning. The results could have been worse, but it wasnt looking great for Flahertys command. It took him 41 pitches to get through the Tigers went 123 in the top of the second. Flaherty adjusted well in the home half, getting the Nationals out in threeup, threedown inning for the Tigers in the third. In the home half, James Wood got a leadoff walk, then with two outs, stole second. The stolen base would come back to haunt them, as Josh Bell singled to bring Wood home. The Nationals would have to settle for the one run, but it continued to widen the gap the Tigers would need to make one out in the top of the fourth, Jahmai Jones singled. Spencer Torkelson then doubled to bring Jones home. It was a long, long double that really almost left the park. Suddenly, the Tigers had something embedded content failed to Vierling walked. Wenceel Perez hit into what was initially ruled a double play, though after the Tigers challenged the call, only the out at second was upheld, the out call at first was overturned, so it was a force out, and the Tigers had runners at the corners. Dillon Dingler walked to load things up. Unfortunately, a Baez strikeout ended the inning and left all three runners stranded. The Nationals went 123 in the home Tigers were threeup, threedown in the top of the fifth. The Nationals likewise went down in order in the home half Jackson Jobe Jersey. Its certainly worth pausing at this point, since Flahertys night appeared to be done, that despite his very ugly start to the game, he seemed to course correct well, getting seven straight strikeouts. Flahertys final line for the game was 5. 0 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 9 K on 97 pitches. A solid embedded content failed to one out in the sixth, Spencer Torkelson walked. Then Matt Vierling singled, sending Torkelson to third, and chasing Gore from the game. Brad Lord came in from the Nationals bullpen and for the second out of the inning.

With one out, Jose A. Ferrer came in to face and strike out a pinchhitting Riley Greene. Gleyber Torres then came through with a single. Two out, two on. Jahmai Jones then had the goahead hero moment of the game with a double to score two runs. It was also a good indicator of how many Tigers fans were in the stands, because it got loud.

A Nathaniel Lowe triple then put the Nationals right back in the lead. Josh Bell then doubled to score Lowe. Brenan Hanifee relieved a struggling Kahnle. Alex Call replaced Bell as a pinchrunner. Paul DeJong singled to score Call. Daylen Lile then singled. All this with no outs. Those outs did finally come, backtoback to end the inning, but one more run scored on the second out of the inning as a Jacob Young groundout scored DeJong, and by the time it was over, the Nationals were up Finnegan was the new Nationals pitcher in the ninth, and the Tigers didnt manage to stage a comeback, so it was a split doubleheader in the truest sense at the end of the day.
