The Detroit Tigers dominated the Miami Marlins 8–2 on April 12 at Comerica Park, with the home team's offense providing ample run support behind a solid pitching performance. Detroit's lineup recorded 12 hits and three home runs while driving in seven runs, though the .240 batting average and .697 OPS suggested the output came more from power than consistent contact. Miami's pitching staff surrendered all eight earned runs and allowed 12 hits, posting a 3.92 ERA, while the Marlins managed only six hits, one homer, and two RBIs in their own right. The Tigers' pitching was efficient despite allowing six hits, striking out eight while maintaining a 3.66 ERA and committing no defensive errors. Miami's offense underperformed relative to its .719 OPS, with eight strikeouts indicating difficulty against Detroit's pitchers. The Tigers' three-home-run advantage and clean fielding proved decisive in a wire-to-wire victory that demonstrates Detroit's early-season ability to convert power opportunities into wins.
