MLB
The Detroit Tigers salvaged one game of their weekend series against the Cleveland Indians with a 9-5 victory yesterday. Tempers flared early as Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer hit three batters – Ian Kinsler is being checked for a concussion. Warnings were issued after Detroit’s Daniel Norris threw behind former teammate Rajai Davis. Justin Upton and J.D. Martinez homered for Detroit.
The Tigers have today off, and begin a series at Minnesota tomorrow night. Matt Boyd will start against Hector Santiago. Hear the first pitch at 8:10 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
The Tigers remain seven games behind the Indians. Any combination of seven Cleveland wins or Detroit losses clinches the American League Central Division title for the Indians. Baltimore and Seattle won yesterday, and Toronto lost, so the Tigers and Mariners are each two games behind the Blue Jays in the race for the final American League wild card playoff berth.
Wily Peralta gave up just one run over six innings, as the Milwaukee Brewers shaded the Chicago Cubs 3-1 yesterday. Chris Carter homered.
The Brewers also have today off. They’ll host the Pirates tomorrow night.
