Detroit Tigers starter Dietrich Enns shines in 8-0 win over Athletics for series victory
Former Central Michigan left-hander Dietrich Enns pitched for the Tampa Bay Rays in September 2021, traveled overseas to Japan and Korea for the next three years, returned to the United States in hopes of an MLB return and joined the Detroit Tigers on a minor league contract in January 2025. The Tigers promoted the 34-year-old from Triple-A Toledo to start Thursday, June 26, against the Athletics at Comerica Park — his first MLB game in 1,371 days. Enns guided the Tigers to a 8-0 win over the Athletics, completing five scoreless innings on one hit and two walks allowed with four strikeouts in his 77-pitch performance. He tossed more than four innings for the first time in his 12-game MLB career, including two games in 2017 and nine games in 2021. RECRUITING UPDATE: Friendly advice: Why Detroit Tigers might not have Gleyber Torres without Gio Urshela The Tigers (51-31) supported Enns — and won the rubber match of the three-game series — with home runs from Spencer Torkelson and Gleyber Torres. But Enns set the tone from the first inning. He retired the first three Athletics on eight pitches: Jacob Wilson on a flyout, Brent Rooker on a groundout and Nick Kurtz on a swinging strikeout. Enns had just one stressful inning. It was the third, when Max Schuemann hit a leadoff single and Denzel Clarke drew a five-pitch walk. Instead of falling apart, Enns won a seven-pitch battle with Wilson for a flyout, which put runners on the corners, then got Rooker to ground into an inning-ending double play with back-to-back changeups at the bottom of the strike zone. Celebrate 125 epic seasons of the Tigers with our new book! Everything else seemed easy in the other innings. Enns retired the final eight batters he faced. For Enns' 77 pitches, he used 37 four-seam fastballs, 23 changeups, eight cutters, seven curveballs and two sinkers. He generated 13 whiffs on 42 swings for a 31% whiff rate, thanks to seven fastballs, five changeups and one sinker. His fastball averaged 93.1 mph — and maxed out at 94.5 mph. Not only did Enns miss bats, but he also limited hard contact and kept the ball on the ground. The Athletics averaged an 81.4 mph exit velocity on their 11 balls in play. [ MUST LISTEN: Make "Days of Roar" your go-to Detroit Tigers podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) ] The Tigers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Torkelson hit a solo home run to left-center off left-hander Jeffery Springs — his first homer since June 10 (and his third homer in June). The 25-year-old hit just .111 with five walks and 10 strikeouts in 10 games between homers. He has 17 homers in 76 games. A two-run double from Jahmai Jones extended the Tigers' lead to 3-0 in the third inning. In the seventh, Torres hit a two-run home run off right-handed reliever J.T. Ginn, making it 5-0.

Dietrich Enns Throws 5 Scoreless Innings in Return to Majors as Tigers Beat A's 8-0
Dietrich Enns pitched five scoreless innings in his return to the majors as the Detroit Tigers beat the Athletics 8–0 on Thursday. Enns (1-0) gave up a single and two walks in his first game since he threw two scoreless innings for the Tampa Bay Rays against the Miami Marlins on September 24, 2021. The 34-year-old pitched for the Seibu Lions in Japan from 2022–23 before going 13–6 last season for the LG Twins in South Korea. Jeffrey Springs (5-6) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. Spencer Torkelson and Gleyber Torres homered for the Tigers, while Zach McKinstry had three hits, including a double and a triple. Torkelson, who came into the game hitting .193 with nine homers in his past 54 games, led off the second with his 17th home run of the season. Jahmai Jones hit a two-run double to put the Tigers up 3–0 in the third. Torres hit a two-run homer to make it 5–0 in the seventh. McKinstry hit a two-run triple in the eighth and scored on a sacrifice fly. Key moment: The Athletics had runners on first and second with no one out in the third, but Enns retired Jacob Wilson on a fly to right and got Brent Rooker to ground into a double play. Key stat: The win was the third of Enns's MLB career. The first two came against Detroit on September 11 and 16, 2021. Up next: The Athletics continue their road trip with a weekend series against the New York Yankees. RHP Will Warren (4-4, 4.56) is scheduled to start Friday's opener for the Yankees. Detroit will have RHP Sawyer Gipson-Long (0-0, 4.58) pitching on Friday in the first of three home games against the Minnesota Twins.
