Takes loss Friday Kahnle (1-5) allowed a run on two hits while retiring just one batter to take the loss Friday against the Red Sox.

Impact Tasked with maintaining a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning, Kahnle allowed a Romy Gonzalez single followed by a Ceddanne Rafaela walk-off triple in a game the Tigers really could have used in their playoff chase. The veteran righty has mostly been good lately, as this was just the second time in his last nine appearances that he's been scored on. However, Kahnle's endured a few rough patches this season, and his 4.43 ERA overall is a big step back from last year's 2.11 figure.

Struggles in fourth loss Kahnle (1-4) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while retiring only two batters in relief to take the loss Sunday against the White Sox.

Impact After a rough patch earlier this summer, Kahnle had seemingly righted the ship with seven straight scoreless appearances coming into Sunday, but he took a step backward with a rough performance. The veteran righty now has a 4.80 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 54.1 innings this season, which is a far cry from the 2.11 ERA and 1.15 WHIP he posted in 42.2 regular-season innings for the Yankees last year.

Struggles continue Tuesday Kahnle allowed two runs on two hits and two walks across 1.1 innings of relief in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the White Sox. He struck out two.

Impact Kahnle has allowed at least one run in five of his last six outings, and he has a 9.53 ERA during the rough stretch. Since the start of July, the veteran's ERA is an even uglier 16.36. Before then, Kahnle was having a nice season with a 1.77 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 31 strikeouts across his first 35.2 innings of 2025, but he's now sitting with a 5.21 ERA and 1.33 WHIP, and the righty has quickly fallen out of favor in the Detroit bullpen.

Pitches better Monday Kahnle tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Pirates.

Impact After a brutal stretch of three games in which he allowed nine earned runs while retiring only three batters, Kahnle looked better Monday. Prior to the rough patch, the veteran righty had a 2.84 ERA, and he posted a sub-3.00 ERA each of the last two seasons. Kahnle's ERA is still sitting at an uncharacteristically high 4.73 this year, but he can whittle it down if he strings together a few more positive outings.

Struggles over weekend In games against the Mariners on Saturday and Sunday, Kahnle allowed seven earned runs on six hits and two walks without retiring a single batter.

Impact Kahnle had two of his worst outings of the season on consecutive days, and he saw his ERA climb from 2.84 to 4.50 in the process. This whole month of July has been a struggle for the righty, as he's allowed 12 earned runs on 11 hits and five walks across six appearances (2.1 innings). Meanwhile, Will Vest continues to pitch well as Detroit's closer, sitting with a 2.30 ERA and a team-high 15 saves. At this point, Vest is clearly the reliever to target in the Tigers' bullpen.

Notches ninth save Kahnle walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Saturday in Cleveland.

Impact The right-hander issued a two-out walk but otherwise had no issues finishing off Detroit's 1-0 victory. It's the first save since June 4 for Kahnle, which is especially encouraging after a five-run blowup earlier this week in Washington. Will Vest leads the Tigers with 14 saves and appears to be the club's top closing option, but Kahnle is clearly still in the mix with a 2.89 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB over 37.1 innings this year.
