ARLINGTON -- Never underestimate the power of a single.

It¡¯s a point Tigers manager A.J. Hinch made before the team¡¯s 9-8 win against the Rangers on Sunday at Globe Life Field, and a point that was proven by first baseman Harold Castro?in the fourth inning.

With runners in scoring position and the Tigers leading, 4-0, Castro hit a single to center field that drove in a couple of insurance runs. He later topped that in the sixth inning with a bases-clearing double to make it a 9-0 ballgame.

That single -- both at-bats, really -- ended up making all the difference in the Tigers¡¯ win as the Rangers rallied to score eight runs over the last few innings.

¡°I think sometimes guys need an opportunity to succeed or fail. This [was] an opportunity for Harold, and he stepped up and had really good at-bats,¡± Hinch said. ¡°The way the game ends, those at-bats seem bigger and bigger when you look back on when we were able to pad our lead.¡±

Castro finished the night 2-for-5 with a career-high five RBIs in helping contribute to the offense¡¯s fourth consecutive game with six-plus runs scored -- the first time the club has accomplished such a feat since July 2019, only the Tigers went 1-3 in that span and 3-1 this time around.

Detroit¡¯s offensive output highlighted the series despite a rough finish to the series win. Sunday¡¯s game was nearly a repeat of the series opener Friday when the Tigers strung together an impressive but ultimately unsuccessful rally.

¡°Well, we won the series, so you always take that out of it. The end result is always key. We won the series, we played very well,¡± Hinch said. ¡°Obviously, the last couple innings got away from us and we didn¡¯t do ourselves any favors, but we got the last out, and we¡¯re going home on a happy flight.¡±

Over the last two series, the Tigers have scored a combined 33 runs, 26 of which were scored against the Rangers over the weekend. Detroit is now 2-0-2 over its last four series since snapping an eight-game losing skid in early August.

¡°We¡¯re obviously having some better at-bats,¡± Hinch said. ¡°I mean, it almost wasn¡¯t enough today because we didn¡¯t score any in the last third of the game.¡±

Though Detroit was blanked between the seventh and ninth innings while Corey Seager (twice), Nathaniel Lowe and Kole Calhoun launched a combined four homers to bring the game to within one, Joe Jiménez -- with little notice -- sat down the Rangers¡¯ No. 4 and No. 5 hitters with a strikeout and a flyout to save the game.

¡°I ambushed him. I didn¡¯t give him a lot of time to warm up, I didn¡¯t give him a lot of warning,¡± Hinch said. ¡°Things happened pretty fast, he came in and did what you hope.¡±

Jim¨¦nez¡¯s save made way for Drew Hutchison (2-7, 4.01 ERA) to pick up his second win of the season. Hutchison tossed 5 1/3 scoreless innings before being pulled after allowing back-to-back homers to Seager and Lowe.

¡°It¡¯s a win,¡± Hutchison said when asked about sitting through the last three innings. ¡°You get a win, win the series. A win¡¯s a win.¡±
