NBA
The Detroit Pistons pounded the Charlotte Hornets 112-89 last night. Tobias Harris led Detroit with 24 points. The Pistons played most of the game without Andre Drummond, who was ejected after 13 minutes after being called for a flagrant foul on Charlotte’s Roy Hibbard. After the game, Drummond denied any malicious intent. The Pistons will play at Boston tonight. Tipoff is at 7:30 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
MLB
Eric Thames will take over at first base for the Milwaukee Brewers. A day after news broke that the Crew would not risk arbitration with Chris Carter, they signed a three-year deal that could stretch into four, worth 16 to 24-million dollars with a 30-year-old player who hasn’t seen a major league pitch in nearly five years. Thames has played the last three years in Korea, where he averaged 37 home runs per season, and also won their equivalent of a Gold Glove Award. Korean professional baseball is generally regarded as equal to American Triple-A level.
