Tigers Rally to Tally 4-2 Win
The Detroit (GCL) Tigers started the 2025 season win an impressive 4-2 win against the Atlanta (GCL) Firebirds at Joker Marchant Stadium. Jody Simmons, the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 draft, led the way for Detroit (GCL). António Valenzuela nailed down the save.

Detroit (GCL) went up, 4-2, on Dan Kengor's 1st double of the season. The 2-run double, which Kengor hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Atlanta (GCL) pitcher Jeff Harris shaking his head.

"We'll grab a cold beverage tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Kengor said.
