Jeimer Candelario homered for the first time since May 18 and the visiting Detroit Tigers handed All-Star Kyle Gibson his first loss this season while defeating the Texas Rangers 5-3 on Wednesday.
Robbie Grossman reached base four times and drove in two runs for the Tigers, who have won six of their past eight games.
Joey Gallo homered twice and drove in all three Rangers runs. The All-Star has 10 blasts in his last 10 games and 23 overall.
Detroit starter Casey Mize gave up Gallo's solo homers during his four innings of work. He allowed four hits and struck out two. Kyle Funkhouser (3-0) tossed two scoreless innings to pick up the win and All-Star Gregory Soto pitched the last two innings for his seventh save.
