MLB
Garrett Gooper’s grand slam off Shane Greene in the top of the ninth inning powered the Miami Marlins to a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers yesterday. All five runs were unearned, thanks to an error by Dawel Lugo at shortstop, and a bobble by Ronny Rodriguez at second base that prevented completion of a double-play that would have ended the inning. The blow wiped out a good effort by starter Matthew Boyd, who scattered five hits over six shutout innings, and struck out seven. It also sent the Tigers to the ninth consecutive loss.
The Tigers visit the New York Mets tonight. Gregory Soto will start against Noah Syndergaard. Pregame coverage will begin at 6:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Milwaukee Brewers had yesterday off, and begin a home set against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight. Chase Anderson will pitch against Jerad Eickhoff.
