MLB
Buck Farmer pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning, as the Detroit Tigers blanked the Los Angeles Angels 4-0 last night. Farmer gave up just three hits. Alex and Justin Wilson completed the shutout. Detroit took an early lead when Ian Kinsler scored on a Victor Martinez double play ball in the third inning. Justin Upton provided some breathing room with a three-run homer in the eighth.
The Tigers wrap up that series with the Angels this afternoon. Michael Fulmer will pitch against JC Ramirez. Pregame coverage will begin at 12:45 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
Domingo Santana and Jonathan Villar homered, and the Milwaukee Brewers downed the San Francisco Giants 6-3 last night. Jimmy Nelson gave up three runs over six innings, and earned the win. Corey Knebel collected his seventh save.
The Brewers conclude that series against the Giants this afternoon. Paulo Espino will make his second career start for Milwaukee. Johnny Cueto will counter for San Francisco.
Espino was called up from Colorado Springs because Matt Garza has been placed on the disabled list with a chest contusion sustained when he crashed into first baseman Jesús Aguilar during a play at first base during his last start.
