MLB – Tigers Sink to Last Place
Miguel Cabrera’s three hits and three RBI weren’t enough, as the Detroit Tigers fell to the Los Angeles Angels 8-7 last night. A few days after pitching a one-hit gem, Detroit starter Alfredo Simon gave up four runs in the first inning. He left in the fifth, and was charged with all eight L-A runs. He gave up nine hits, four walks, three wild pitches and hit a batter. The Tigers tried to come back, but couldn’t capitalize on scoring opportunities in the seventh and eighth innings. The loss dropped Detroit into a tie for last place in the American League Central Division. Game details are here.
The Tigers continue that home set against the Los Angeles Angels tonight. Justin Verlander will start against Hector Santiago. Hear the first pitch at 7:08 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
Wily Peralta didn’t make it through the third inning, as the Milwaukee Brewers lost to the Cleveland Indians 11-6. Cleveland scored four runs off Peralta, and five more off Kyle Lohse. Jonathan Lucroy hit two home runs for Milwaukee, and Domingo Santana and Ryan Braun also homered. Game details are here.
The Brewers wrap up that quick series at Cleveland tonight. Jimmy Nelson will pitch against Cody Anderson.
