Wendle tripled with one out in the second. Mike Zunino followed with a grounder to third and Wendle beat Jeimer Candelario's throw to the plate. Kiermaier followed with his second triple in as many games, giving the Rays a 2-0 lead.
After a walk, Brandon Lowe made it 3-0 with a sacrifice fly.
Wendle led off the fourth with a home run, and Lowe made it 5-0 with an RBI single later in the inning.
Jonathan Schoop led off the bottom of the inning with a double — Detroit's first hit — and scored on Cabrera's line single to right, but Randy Azorarena's sacrifice fly restored Tampa Bay's five-run lead in the fifth.
Austin Meadows made it 7-1 in the ninth with Tampa Bay's third sacrifice fly before Robbie Grossman's homer in the bottom of the inning.
MOVES
Rays: Placed INF Wander Franco (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list and optioned OF Josh Lowe to Triple-A Durham. Reinstated Azoarena from the paternity list and recalled INF Taylor Walls from Durham. Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said before the game he hopes Franco can return this season.
Tigers: Placed LHP Matt Boyd (elbow) on the 10-day injured list and called up LHP Ian Krol from Triple-A Toledo.
LONG WAIT
Enns got his first big-league win in his 203rd professional game, but just his eighth in the majors. He has pitched in the Yankees, Twins, Padres and Rays minor-league systems, spent a winter in Venezuela and pitched in the 2020 City of Champions Cup independent league.
UP NEXT
The teams finish their weekend series on Sunday with Detroit's Tarik Skubal (8-12, 4.30) facing Luis Patino (4-3, 4.65). The game has been moved up an hour to a 12:10 pm start because of the Lions' home game across the street at Ford Field.
