MLB
The two runs they scored off Casey Mize in the first inning last night were all the Braves needed in a 2-1 victory over the Tigers. Mize left after the fourth inning, and Beau Brieske, Andrew Chafin and Will Vest held Atlanta hitless after that. Riley Greene tripled and scored on Gio Urshela’s single to put Detroit on the board in the sixth.
The Tigers wrap up that set in Atlanta this afternoon. Tarik Skubal will start against Reynaldo López. Coverage will begin at 11:55 on 99.3 The Lift.
Alex Lange’s season is likely over. The former Detroit closer had been demoted to Toledo to work on his control. He left Friday’s game with back discomfort. He will need surgery to repair a latissimus dorsi avulsion. Recovery typically takes six to eight months.
The Brewers held off the Angels 6-3 last evening. Christian Yelich hit his 200th career home run in the first inning. Jackson Chourio drove home three with a bases-loaded double in the fourth. Tobias Myers pitched shutout ball into the seventh, scattering four hits. L-A’s runs came off Elieser Hernández and Joel Payamps in the bottom of the ninth. With two runners on base, Sal Frelick’s leaping catch of Taylor Ward’s fly ball at the centerfield fence ended the game.
The Brewers visit the Angels again tonight. Freddy Peralta will pitch against Tyler Anderson.
Baseball legend Willie Mays has died. The prototypical five-tool player, Mays made the National League All-Star team 24 times, earned 12 Gold Gloves, was twice named MVP, blasted 660 home runs, and led the league once in batting, and four times in stolen bases. His over-the-shoulder catch in deep center field at the Polo Grounds in game one of the 1954 World Series remains one of the most famous baseball plays of all time. Mays played all but two seasons with the Giants, first in New York, and then in San Francisco. The “Say Hey” kid was 93 years old when he passed away yesterday from heart failure.
