Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Taj Bradley allowed one run over seven innings and struck out nine as the Tigers struggled to generate offense.
  • Hao-Yu Lee hit the Tigers’ only run, his eighth home run of the season.
  • Bradley earned his 10th win of the season and became a first-time 10-game winner, while Lee moved within two homers of Taiwan’s single-season record.

The Tigers could manage only one run against Taj Bradley, and Taiwan’s Hao-Yu Lee supplied it with a home run. After the game, Detroit manager A.J. Hinch tipped his cap to the opposing pitcher.

Bradley worked seven innings, struck out nine and allowed one run to earn his 10th win of the season. It was the first time in his career that he had reached double-digit victories. He also has 178 strikeouts, fourth-most in the American League.

His pitches were excellent, his velocity was high, and he located his other breaking pitches very precisely.

— A.J. HinchThe Tigers manager praised Taj Bradley after his dominant start.

Hinch said Bradley’s pitches had excellent quality and speed, while his other breaking pitches were precisely controlled. He also credited Bradley’s teammates with several strong defensive plays that kept Detroit from building an attack.

Lee now has eight home runs this season, leaving him two short of the record for most home runs by a Taiwanese player in a single season.

His teammates made several outstanding defensive plays behind him, so we could never get our offense going. We did not put enough pressure on him to unsettle him.

— A.J. HinchHinch explained why Detroit failed to challenge Bradley.
