The Detroit Tigers plated six runs in the fifth inning, and routed the Chicago White Sox 11-5 last night. Andrew Romine and Cameron Maybin each tripled in the big inning. Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez each doubled, and later homered, as the Tigers won their seventh straight game. Anibal Sanchez gave up just one run over six innings to get the win.
The Indians lost to the Twins, so the Tigers are now three games back in the American League Central Division.
That series continues in Detroit tonight. Michael Fulmer will pitch against Chris Sale. Hear the first pitch at 7:10 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
A day after saying that starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey was day-to-day because of a lower back strain, the Tigers placed him on the 15-day disabled list yesterday. Pelfrey’s next scheduled start would have been tomorrow – Jordan Zimmermann will return from the DL to make that start. Anibal Sanchez and Matt Boyd will remain in the rotation for the time being. Meanwhile, outfielder J.D. Martinez is scheduled to return from the DL today, after recovering from a broken elbow.
Ryan Braun homered as the Milwaukee Brewers edged the San Diego Padres 3-2. Zach Davies pitched into the sixth inning to earn the win.
The Brewers wrap up that series in San Diego this afternoon. Junior Guerra will pitch against Edwin Jackson.
Milwaukee filled the open spot on their roster yesterday by promoting top prospect Orlando Arcia from Colorado Springs. Arcia will become the starting shortstop. Jonathan Villar will move to third base, and Hernan Perez will take on a utility role.
