DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Ha-Seong Kim homered and drove in two runs as the Atlanta Braves won their eighth straight game with a 6-2 win over the slumping Detroit Tigers on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Casey Mize (14-6) gave up three runs on five hits and three walks in 5 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Braves scored a run in three straight innings \u2014 the third through fifth \u2014 and the Tigers couldn’t get the key hit they needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Key moment<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The Braves threatened in the seventh, but left the bases loaded. During the inning, second base umpire Alfonso Marquez ruled Drake Baldwin was out on a 3-6 force play at second, but replays showed Zach McKinstry came off the bag before catching Torkelson’s throw. The Braves had already used their challenge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Key stat<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The Tigers finished the season with 2,413,442 fans, a jump of more than 500,000 from 2024 and the highest total since drawing 2,493,859 fans in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
