MLB
The Detroit Tigers’ slide from contention continued Saturday evening with a 3-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Daniel Norris took the loss, giving up all three runs on eight hits. Both he and Red Sox starter Drew Pomeranz left the game after the fifth inning because of a long rain delay. James McCann and J.D. Martinez homered for Detroit.
That series wraps up this afternoon in Detroit. Justin Verlander will start against Henry Owens. Hear the first pitch at 1:10 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
Cleveland also lost, so the Indians’ lead over the Tigers remains at seven games in the American League Central Division.
The Milwaukee Brewers fell to the Seattle Mariners 8-2 Saturday night. Wily Peralta gave up four runs before leaving in the seventh. Milwaukee got two back in the top of the eighth inning on a Ryan Braun double, and an Hernan Perez single, but Seattle broke the game open with four in the bottom of the inning off Blaine Boyer and Rob Scahill.
The Brewers conclude that interleague series against the Mariners in Seattle tonight. Matt Garza will start against Ariel Miranda.
