NHL – Red Wings’ Season Ends
The Detroit Red Wings’ season ended last night with a 2-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the seventh game of their opening-round playoff series. Tampa goalie Ben Bishop stopped 31 Detroit shots to earn the shutout. Petr Mrazek gave up just one goal – a slap shot by Braden Coburn early in the third period. The Lightning added a late empty-netter to seal the win, and advance to the next round.
MLB – Tigers and Brewers Win
Miguel Cabrera homered twice, as the Detroit Tigers outslugged the Minnesota Twins 10-7 yesterday. The power surge rescued starter Shane Greene, who was charged with seven Minnesota runs before leaving in the fifth inning. Detroit made up a four-run deficit in the top of the sixth, powered by homers from Cabrera, J.D. Martinez, and an inside-the-park shot by James McCann – his first homer in the majors. Andrew Romine singled in the game-winner in the eighth inning, and Cabrera added two insurance runs with his second homer of the night in the ninth. Tom Gorzelanny got the win in relief.
The Tigers open a series at Kansas City tonight. Alfredo Simon will start against Danny Duffy. Hear the first pitch at 8:10 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3 WCCY.
Ryan Braun’s grand slam lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds yesterday. The eighth-inning shot was Braun’s second home run of the night.
