Harold Castro drove in five runs and Jeimer Candelario belted a two-run home run on Sunday afternoon and the Detroit Tigers held on for a 9-8 victory over the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas.

Right-hander Drew Hutchison (2-7) gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings for Detroit, and picked up his first win since July 5 against the Cleveland Guardians.

For Castro, who had not had more than two RBIs in any game this season, the five are a career high. In 2021, the Tigers' first baseman had as many as three, done twice.

The Tigers stormed out to a nine-run lead, but the Rangers, behind two home runs by Corey Seager, responded to make it a one-run loss.

Seager's two-run homer in the ninth inning made it 9-8. The Rangers had the tying run at second base, but Joe Jimenez locked down his second save.

Texas outfielder Adolis Garcia had his 23-game hitting streak snapped.

Kole Calhoun added a two-run homer in the eighth inning for the Rangers. In the sixth inning, Seager and Nathaniel Lowe went back-to-back.

Rangers starter Kohei Arihara (1-2) had a rough outing, allowing six runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. The right-hander walked two and struck out three.

In the second inning, Arihara put himself in a bind when he hit Eric Haase with a pitch. Kerry Carpenter opened the scoring for the Tigers with an RBI double. Candelario's two-run homer was his 12th and made it 3-0.

In the third inning, Kody Clemens drew a bases-loaded walk, giving Detroit a four-run lead. Arihara labored throwing strikes in the inning, as he walked two and gave up two singles.

The Tigers chased Arihara in the fourth inning with a pair of hits. Brett Martin entered in relief, and Castro laced a two-run single to center, with the runs charged to Arihara.

Castro came up big again in the sixth inning, with a three-run double off left-hander Brock Burke, breaking open a nine-run lead.
