MLB

Brett Phillips’ three-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning powered the Tampa Bay Rays past the Detroit Tigers 7-4 last night. The Tigers took an early lead, scoring all of their runs in the first three innings, with help from an Akil Baddoo home run. The Rays scored three off Gregory Soto and Michael Fulmer in the bottom of the ninth, setting up Phillips’ blow off Bryan Garcia in the 10th.

The Tigers visit the Rays again today. Tarik Skubal will start against Ryan Yarbrough. Coverage will begin at 3:50 on 99.3 The Lift.

The Milwaukee Brewers moved closer to clinching the National League Central Division title by defeating the Chicago Cubs 8-5 last night. The Crew came from behind with four runs in the bottom of the eighth to claim the win.

The Brewers host the Cubs again tonight. Corbin Burnes will start against Justin Steele.

Any combination of two wins by Milwaukee or losses by Saint Louis guarantees the Brewers a playoff berth. Any combination of four Brewers wins or Cardinals losses clinches the division title.
