WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Keider Montero pitched six scoreless innings, Eduardo Valencia drove in four runs and the Detroit Tigers completed their first season-series sweep ever against an American League opponent with an 11-0 victory over the Athletics on Sunday.
One day after trading ace Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers for three prospects, the Tigers responded with their third straight win to remain within 2 1/2 games of the last wild-card spot in the AL.
Spencer Torkelson hit a two-run double in the first inning against Gage Jump (4-7) to stake Montero to the early lead. Gleyber Torres added a two-run single and Valencia had a two-run double in the fourth inning to break the game open. Valencia added a two-run double in a four-run eighth.
Montero (8-6) allowed just two hits and two walks.
The Tigers followed up a three-game sweep at home in early July against the A's by winning all three games this weekend to finish the season series 6-0 for their first sweep ever against an AL team. This marked the fifth time the A's went winless against an AL foe with it last happening when they went 0-6 against Toronto in 2019.
Jump struggled to find the strike zone as he was unable to build on the six scoreless innings he threw Tuesday to beat Boston and snap a five-start losing streak. He walked six batters and allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings.
The final four-plus innings were played with only three umpires after home plate ump Jeremie Rehak left the game after taking a foul ball off his mask. Second base umpire Adam Beck took over behind the plate.
Tigers: Detroit opens a series on Tuesday in Seattle and won't know the pitching rotation until after the trade deadline.
Athletics: RHP J.T. Ginn (8-6, 3.46 ERA) is expected to come off the injured list for a blister to start the series opener Tuesday at Cincinnati.

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 3, 2026--
Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced that it will exhibit the KIOXIA XL1 series, a Compute Express Link™ (CXL™) compatible memory expansion module, at the Kioxia booth at FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage, taking place August 4 - 6 in Santa Clara, CA. The product features KIOXIA XL-FLASH™, a low-latency and high-performance flash memory technology that enables flash memory, traditionally used for storage applications, to also be utilized as a memory expansion solution. In addition, it is being designed and developed to support the growing volume of memory-intensive AI applications. Evaluation samples are scheduled to be shipped to industry ecosystem collaborators in August 2026.

In recent years, the growing number of AI workloads has significantly increased memory demand in data centers, creating serious challenges such as capacity shortages and rising costs. In response to this important market need, Kioxia is targeting an innovative memory expansion solution for hyperscale environments. The KIOXIA XL1 series memory expansion module combines low-latency, high-performance XL-FLASH™ with a CXL™ interface and improves DRAM utilization efficiency by placing less frequently accessed data on the module. It bridges the performance and cost gap between conventional DRAM and SSDs, enabling memory expansion for demanding AI applications.
Note: The sample drives are for evaluation purposes only. Some functions may not have been fully tested, and specifications are subject to change.
