The Detroit Tigers lost to the Saint Louis Cardinals 5-2 yesterday. Michael Fulmer pitched five perfect innings for the Tigers.

The Milwaukee Brewers completed a sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 6-3 victory yesterday. Jonathan Schoop’s grand slam in the sixth inning was the big blow.

That sparked an argument that wound up with Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell and two players being ejected from the game.
The Brewers open a critical series against the division-leading Cubs in Chicago tonight. Wade Miley will pitch against Jon Lester. Milwaukee trails Chicago by two games in the National League Central Division.
