MLB
The Detroit Tigers gave up a ton of runs, and suffered two crucial injuries as they lost to the Cleveland Indians 15-0 yesterday. Starting pitcher Michael Fulmer left the game with a knee injury after giving up home runs to the first two batters he faced. The damage may have occurred after he tried to field an attempted bunt on the first pitch of the game. Cleveland then teed off on relievers Matt Hall, Sandy Baez, and Zac Reininger to complete their scoring by the end of the fourth inning. The victory clinched the Indians’ third-straight American League Central Division title.
The Tigers play in Cleveland again today. Francisco Liriano will start against Shane Bieber. Pregame coverage will begin at 12:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
Outfielder JaCoby Jones also left yesterday’s game with tightness in his shoulder after crashing into the wall while trying to make a catch. He’s considered day-to-day. Fulmer will be evaluated today.
The Milwaukee Brewers fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 yesterday. The Crew’s only score came on Christian Yelich’s 30th home run of the season. Zach Davies gave up two runs over five innings, and took the loss.
The Cubs won, so the Brewers rare now two-and-a-half games behind Chicago in the National League Central Division. They’ll host the Pirates again tonight. Jhoulys Chacín will pitch against Trevor Williams.
