MLB
Jordan Zimmermann had a bad day at the office, and the Detroit Tigers’ win streak ended with a 7-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays yesterday afternoon. Zimmermann gave up home runs to Justin Smoak and Josh Donaldson, and a two-run triple to Kevin Pillar before leaving the game in the fifth inning. He was charged with all seven Toronto runs. Detroit’s runs came on a first-inning homer by Nick Castallanos.
The Tigers take today off, and open a weekend set against the Yankees tomorrow night in New York. Mike Pelfrey will face CC Sabathia. Hear the first pitch at 7:05 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
Outfielder Cameron Maybin received an anti-inflammatory injection in his sore left wrist yesterday. He’s missed two games, but hopes to be back in the lineup tomorrow. That is the same wrist he broke during spring training.
Chase Anderson gave up just two hits over 6-2/3rds innings, as the Milwaukee Brewers blanked the Oakland Athletics 4-0 last night. Blaine Boyer and Will Smith completed what turned out to be a three-hit shutout. Scooter Gennett drove in three Milwaukee runs with a pair of singles.
The Brewers begin a four-game home set against the New York Mets tonight. Jimmy Nelson will pitch against Bartolo Colon.
Milwaukee has brought reliever Corey Knebel off the disabled list. Reliever Neil Ramirez was designated for assignment to make room on the roster.

The Major League Baseball amateur draft begins tonight, with the first two rounds and mid-round compensatory picks. The Phillies pick first. The Tigers have only one selection tonight – the ninth. The Brewers have the fifth, 46th and 75th picks on the first night.
