MLB
Mike Fiers pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning, as the Detroit Tigers blanked the Boston Red Sox 5-0 last night. Alex Wilson and Shane Greene completed the effort. Detroit took the lead when José Iglesias doubled home two runs in the second inning. Iglesias  added a two-run homer as the Tigers scored three more in the sixth.

The Tigers host the Red Sox again this afternoon. With Michael Fulmer on the disabled list, Blaine Hardy will start against Chris Sale. Pregame coverage begins at 12:45 on 99.3 The Lift.

The Milwaukee Brewers broke their seven-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers last evening. Chase Anderson labored through a long first inning, giving up two runs, and leaving the bases loaded. He exited after the fourth inning, and three relievers turned in five shutout frames complete the game. Milwaukee got one back in the second inning, then took the lead in the sixth on a Christian Yelich solo home run, and a two-run triple by Keon Broxton.

The Brewers will entertain the Dodgers again this afternoon. Brent Suter will pitch against Alex Wood.

Ryan Braun returned from the disabled list in time to score twice in last night’s game. Catcher Jacob Nottingham was sent back to Colorado Springs to make room.
