Wilmer Font got credit for the win, improving to 2-0. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 3 innings. Their 77-81 record puts the Tigers second in the American League Central Division.

Wong had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a 1-0 fastball from Juan Nicasio, he banged a 3-run home run to center, giving the Tigers a 6-5 lead. It was the 12th home run of the year for Wong.

"I feel honored to be a part of this team," said Wong.
