The Rangers went to their bullpen to start the bottom of the sixth inning.
Right-hander Tony Barnette came on to replace Nick Martinez.
Justin Upton walked to lead off the half inning, before a bloop single from Nicholas Castellanos put two on with nobody out. With James McCann batting, both Upton and Castellanos advanced on a wild pitch from Barnette.
McCann hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Upton.
Andrew Romine then struck out looking for the second out, before Jose Iglesias struck out swinging to end the inning.
After six, the Tigers are losing, 5-2.
