Carson Kelly was a vital contributor to the 7-5 Detroit victory over Chicago. The Demons catcher went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The win belonged to Nick Anderson in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jeremiah Estrada took the loss for Chicago. The defeat makes Chicago 1-1.

Detroit got a knockout punch from Eugenio Suarez. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This house was rockin'," Kelly said.
