Dillon Dingler had a three-run home run and a double to spark the Detroit Tigers to a 5-1 home win against the Texas Rangers on Saturday.

Keider Montero (2-2) gave up one run on five hits, walked two and struck out two in 6 2/3 innings as Detroit evened the three-game series.

Gleyber Torres had two hits and an RBI for the Tigers before leaving with left side tightness. Riley Greene went 2-for-4 with a run and Wenceel Perez was 2-for-3 with a run and a walk.

Jake Burger hit a solo home run while Josh Smith and Josh Jung each had two hits for Texas.

Moments after Rangers right fielder Ezequiel Duran fielded Greene’s single and threw out Torres at the plate in the first, Dingler launched a homer that traveled 443 feet to left.

An inning later, Detroit took a 5-0 lead with a pair of two-out singles. Perez singled, stole second and scored on Kevin McGonigle’s grounder up the middle. McGonigle swiped second and came around to score on Torres’ bloop single to shallow right.

Montero gave up two walks in the third, but kept Texas off the board. In the fourth, Burger’s solo shot was the Rangers’ first hit and cut the Detroit lead to 5-1.

Duran and Smith posted back-to-back singles to lead off the fifth, but Montero induced a double play and a popout to escape the jam.

With one out in the eighth, the Rangers threatened with runners on second and third. Reliever Drew Anderson got Joc Pederson to ground out and struck out Burger. Anderson gave up two hits and struck out three in 2 1/3 innings of relief.

Rangers starter Kumar Rocker (1-3) gave up five runs on six hits in two innings.

Torres exited the game in the third with what was reported as left-side tightness.

Jordan Walker slugged a two-run homer among his two hits and Michael McGreevy tossed six scoreless innings as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Saturday for their sixth straight victory.

McGreevy (2-2) allowed three hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Right-hander Ryne Stanek and lefty JoJo Romero each pitched a scoreless inning before the Dodgers scored two runs on four straight hits against righty Riley O’Brien in the ninth.

O’Brien recorded two quick outs before giving up back-to-back infield singles to Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernandez. Max Muncy and Andy Pages followed with RBI singles before O’Brien struck out pinch hitter Dalton Rushing for his ninth save.

Los Angeles lost its fourth straight game and has scored three or fewer runs in seven of its last 11 games.

St. Louis took a 3-0 lead on four hits in the third inning. Ivan Herrera hit a leadoff double against Roki Sasaki (1-3) and scored on Alec Burleson’s double to right field.

Walker followed with a two-run blast to left field. The 372-foot shot was Walker’s 10th homer of the season and second in his last three games.

The Dodgers had plenty of early traffic on the basepaths against McGreevy, but they were held scoreless while hitting into four double plays in the first five innings.

Los Angeles put two runners on with one out in the second inning before Pages struck out and Hyeseong Kim grounded out.

The pattern continued in the third inning, when Alex Freeland hit a leadoff single and second baseman JJ Wetherholt started a double play with a diving catch on Shohei Ohtani’s liner.

Sasaki gave up three runs on five hits with two walks over six innings. He retired the final 10 batters he faced and threw a career-high 104 pitches.

Stanek replaced right-hander McGreevy to begin the seventh inning and retired two batters before Hernandez singled and Muncy walked. Both were stranded when Pages struck out.

The Dodgers were held without a home run for the fifth straight game and have hit a total of three homers in their past 11 games.
