Carlos Hernandez just did his former team a favor, and yielded a second run for the Braves. They are ahead of Cleveland in the bottom of the 9 th 2-0.

Need to get through 5 innings at least. I see rain later in the night in a few hours in Minneapolis. My weather has later in the morning but dodging thunderstorms.

He lost a couple mph on the fastball as his last start progressed.

Jhoan Duran just took a line drive off of his ankle; out of the game for the Phillies.

Morton puts just too many people on base.

Tarik Skubal and Clayton Kershaw (2016) are the only pitchers in MLB history to have three consecutive road starts with 10+ strikeouts and no walks. If that streak had been extended last night, he'd be the first player to ever do so in four-straight.

Skubal perfectly describes what's wrong with his stuff, glove side FB command is everything.

Kyle Finnegan has allowed just two hitters (one hit, one walk) to reach base in 6 2-3 innings of high-leverage bullpen work since joining the Tigers. He’s K’d 8.

Rafael Montero with the game on the line came through huge. 1.1 IP 2 Ks 0H 0R Inherited the ghost runner and stranded him in the 11th. Even retired Bryon Buxton.

Last 30 games:
McKinstry: .187
Sweeney: .137
Gleyber: .233
Baez: .218
Basically our entire infield slumped at the same time.

We bitch about Riley Greene’s strikeout rate, he’s still probably gonna wind up with 30-35+ HRs and 100-110+ RBI.

Kevin McGonigle needs to be a Detroit Tiger ASAP .337 AVG with a 1.041 OPS in 248 AB’s in the minors this year.
Both Max Clark and Kevin McGonigle have been putting together impressive numbers through 23 games:
Clark: 23 G 2 5H 13% BB 18.5% K rate 140 wRC+ .272./.370/.446 OPS .816
McGonigle: 23 G .299/.394/598 wRC+182 5 HR 26 H .992 OPS 10.6% K rate% 14.4% BB

Tigers fans should be embarrassed by their AJ Hinch trash talk during recent slide

While some fans panic about a midsummer swoon, Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch is exactly right when he says that his club needs to focus on themselves.

Damn Rangers let the Jays score 4 in the bottom of the 8th to take a 6-5 lead. It held.

Reds lead Brewers 8-1 after Two at home. Ended up losing 10-8.,
