Rangers right-hander Mike Foltynewicz allowed 10 runs and recorded just five outs in his last start July 18. While the Detroit Tigers didn't put him through the same agony Thursday, they made him uncomfortable in series finale.
The Tigers (47-51) jumped Foltynewicz for three runs in the first inning, setting the tone for a 7-5 win over the Rangers to sweep the four-game series at Comerica Park. The victory extended the Tigers' winning streak to seven games, all since the All-Star break.
Detroit is 38-27 since May 8.
After a 7-0 record on the homestand, the Tigers take on the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins during the upcoming six-game road trip.
