MLB
Tyler Collins broke out of an 0-for-30 slump with two home runs, as the Detroit Tigers edged the Baltimore Orioles 5-4 last night. His three-run shot in the fifth inning brought the Tigers from behind. Michael Fulmer gave up four runs over seven innings, and earned his fifth win of the season. Justin Wilson put two men on base in the ninth, but struck out Manny Machado to get the save.
That series concludes in Detroit this afternoon. Jordan Zimmermann will start against Dylan Bundy. Pregame coverage will begin at 12:45 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera missed last night’s game with a strained left oblique muscle. He may miss a couple more games, but is not expected to be out long-term.
Jett Bandy’s RBI single in the ninth broke a 1-1 tie, and the Milwaukee Brewers went on to defeat the San Diego Padres 3-1 last night. Matt Garza gave up four hits and a run over six innings. Jacob Barnes got the win in relief, and Corey Knebel earned his second save. The victory boosted Milwaukee into first place in the National League Central Division.
The Brewers continue that set in San Diego this afternoon. Zach Davies will pitch against Jarred Cosart.
Before the game, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell announced that struggling starter Wily Peralta will be demoted to the bullpen. There was no immediate word as to who will take over Peralta’s slot, but Paolo Espino did not make his scheduled start for Colorado Springs last night, and could be called up.
