Anibal Sanchez’ return to the starting rotation fell flat, as the Detroit Tigers lost to the Cleveland Indians 6-0 Saturday. Sanchez gave up two solo home runs in the first inning, and single runs in the second and third. He left after the fifth, and took the loss. The Indians added two late runs off reliever Mark Lowe. The Tigers collected just four hits off Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco, who went the distance, and struck out seven.
The Tigers wrap up that series against the Indians this afternoon. Justin Verlander will start against Josh Tomlin. Hear the first pitch at 1:10 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
The Milwaukee Brewers opened up a big early lead, then hung on to defeat the Washington Nationals 6-5 on Saturday. Chris Carter opened the assault with a three-run homer in the first inning. The Brewers added one in the second, and two in the third. Washington responded with one in the second, two in the fourth, and one in the sixth off Matt Garza, who earned his first win of the season. The Nats closed the gap to one with a run in the seventh, but Michael Blazek and Jeremy Jeffress pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings to close out the win.
The Brewers host the Nationals again this afternoon. Jimmy Nelson will pitch against Tanner Roark.

Ishpeming quarterback Ozzy Corp’s touchdown pass to Negaunee’s Dylan Tasson with six seconds remaining lifted the North team to a 28-21 victory in the U.P. All-Star Football Game Saturday. The winning touchdown pass came just 18 seconds after Munising’s Mike Graves recovered a North punt that was mishandled by the South. The North had tied the game at 21 a few minutes earlier, when Corp completed a six-yard touchdown pass to Baraga’s Jonah Goodreau.
