MLB

The Tigers entertain the Rays again tonight. Bryan Garcia will come back from Toledo to start against Corey Kluber. Coverage begins at 6:50 on 99.3 The Lift.
Miguel Cabrera admits that this season might be his last in the major leagues. Cabrera is in the final year of his contract with Detroit. He batted over .300 through the first half of the season, but has struggled since, while experiencing pain in his chronically bad knees. In an interview yesterday, Cabrera said he’ll be talking with team management and his agent about his future.
Bryan Reynolds raced home on Matt Bush’s bases-loaded wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning, giving the Pirates a 5-4 victory over the Brewers yesterday. Milwaukee had taken a one-run lead when Kolton Wong was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the top of the 10th. In the bottom of the inning, Reynolds’ ground-rule double re-tied the game. After two intentional walks loaded the bases, Bush’s outside bouncer skipped past catcher Victor Caratini, and Reynolds scored easily.
After being swept at Pittsburgh, the Brewers host the Reds tonight. Eric Lauer will start against Robert Dugger.
Milwaukee has added catcher Omar Narváez to the injured list with a quad injury. The issue arose just after the Brewers designated catcher Pedro Severino for assignment, so Mario Feliciano has been called up from Nashville to fill in.
