MLB
The Detroit Tigers lost 2-0 to the Baltimore Orioles Saturday, in a game that ended early because of rain. Eduardo Rodriguez pitched into the sixth, and gave up both Baltimore runs. Victor Reyes had two hits.
The Tigers face the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon. Casey Mize will start.
One of Detroit’s two heralded prospects has made the opening day roster. First baseman Spencer Torkelson will open the season with the Tigers.
The other top prospect will not. Outfielder Riley Greene broke a bone in his foot when he fouled a pitch off his shoe top Friday. Chances are he’ll miss six to eight weeks. Detroit will begin the season a little shorthanded in the outfield, because Derek Hill is also sidelined with a pulled hamstring.
The Milwaukee Brewers lost to the Seattle Mariners 4-3 Saturday evening. Corbin Burnes gave up a run on two hits over six innings, and struck out six. Prospect Jake Scheiner won it for the Mariners with a leadoff home run off Trevor Gott in the bottom of the ninth.
The Brewers play the Texas Rangers today. Brandon Woodruff will start.
