Just a awful pitch to Franklin..

Trade price and get a haul...

Hey thought hats off to the offense for fighting hard to try and overcome all that crap pitching..

Why is a 6.5 ERA guy still starting for us? Maybe we can trade Green for a box of donuts and a fig newton..Maybe a Zagnut but that could be too much..

STREAKS AND STATS:

J.D. Martinez home run in the third inning was his 27th of the season, tied for third-most in MLB, along with Bryce Harper and Giancarlo Stanton. He now holds the record for the longest homer hit as a visiting player at Comerica, and for the home team.

Martinez's homer had a final calculated distance by ESPN of 466 feet, 113 mph, and a 26 degree angle. The home run marked the longest of Martinez's career, beating his previous record of 464 feet off former Tiger Max Scherzer on May 15, 2013 at Comerica Park.

Martinez's home run, which traveled 466 feet -- final distance -- ties the MLB record for the longest-hit home run at Comerica, set by Miguel Cabrera back in 2012. Of note, Statcast recorded that the ball was originally hit 467 feet, which would have set a new record. However, ESPN's calculation is the final definition, therefore it's a tie.

J.D. Martinez has homered 14 times in the last month going back to June 21. In that same span, the Cubs have 12 as a team, according to ESPN.

J.D. Martinez and Nelson Cruz's home runs both traveled over 450 feet, the first time opposing players both hit 450+ foot homers since Sept. 13, 2012 when Edwin Encarnacion and Dustin Ackley both did it, per ESPN.

Yoenis Cespedes' sixth-inning walk marked his first in 33 games. His last was on June 10 against the Cubs.

The home run by Nick Castellanos was his seventh of the season.

The Tigers have hit three-or-more home runs in a game 10 times this season, five of which have happened in July.

Win the game in 9 and you don't have to worry about extra innings. Ausmus is just managing NOT TO LOSE, rather than managing TO WIN.

The Tigers have 2 of them...JV and Green!

Brad's still talking about "getting to Soria" and "8th- 9th-inning guys." This is lizard-brain managing at its finest.

He's an idiot and deserves to be fired on the spot just for that comment. You had a 2 run lead going into that inning and you are worried about not using one of your better pitchers in case you go to extra innings? That makes no sense. How about you reverse your logic and use Wilson in the important situation...and then if you go to extra innings you make the turd you picked up off of waivers pitch until his arm falls off.

He is a idiot...
