MLB
Jordan Zimmermann turned in a quality start, but Detroit Tigers lost to the Kansas City Royals 7-4 last night. Zimmermann gave up two runs over six innings, and left with a one-run lead. The Royals surged ahead with a two-run homer off Drew VerHagen in the seventh, then put the game away with three more off Chad Bell and Shane Greene in the eighth. Jeimer Candelario drove in three Detroit runs.
The Tigers conclude that series at Kansas City tonight. Daniel Norris will pitch against Danny Duffy. Pregame coverage will begin at 7:50 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Milwaukee Brewers were officially eliminated from the National League Central Division race last night, with a 6-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Cincinnati broke the game open with five runs in the third inning. Starter Brandon Woodruff was charged with all six runs, and took the loss. Milwaukee batters collected just four hits.
The Brewers wrap up that home set against the Reds this afternoon. Brent Suter will start against Sal Romano.
Milwaukee slugger Marcus Thames left last night’s game after fouling a ball off his foot. X-rays showed no significant damage, but he’s questionable for tonight’s contest.
Colorado won yesterday, so Milwaukee now trails the Rockies by two and half games in the chase for the final National League wild card playoff berth.
