The Tigers have today off, and open a series at Cleveland tomorrow night. Matthew Boyd will start against Josh Tomlin. Pregame coverage will begin at 6:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
Detroit infielder Niko Goodrum left yesterday’s game after colliding with Christin Stewart in the outfield. He suffered a deep bruise on his thigh, and will probably miss a couple of games.
The Milwaukee Brewers closed the gap in the National League Central race to one game, with a 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs last night.

The Brewers also have today off, and begin a home set against the Pittsburgh Pirates tomorrow evening. Gio Gonzalez will pitch against Chris Archer.
