Melton is not sharp . He keeps falling behind. Not going to last long today against this team. He finally throws a 1st pitch strike. Nice recovery after the Mullins homer.

 

[JScottWriter]

Rogers hit his first homer since last July. My son is taking credit for the resurgence. He also gave 2 cards to Dejesus and asked him to give one to Riley. Then he goes and gets a 4 inning save and Riley hits a homerun. Hopefully Melton starts to lock in.

need Keith to get his 1st one now as well. Mullins would have K's if rogers had challenged the strike called a ball two pitches prior.

Dickerson thinks Verlander's next start might be with Detroit.

Shoot... come on Rogers know the zone.

 

[biggunsbob]

Poor Colt.
The dude can't buy a hit when he has Risp. Frustrating.

3 Run Dingler Dinger (14) 6-2, he's having a pretty year so far.

Tigers notes this morning on Kevin McGonigle.

Max Clark goes yard for his 3rd home run of the season.


Javier Báez, out since end of April with a right ankle sprain, visited Monday with a specialist who recommended a break from rehab."Javy is going to need some time off," A.J. Hinch said. "He's just not progressing very quickly, and right now rest is still part of the equation."

Fixed

 

[JScottWriter]

Well Melton has locked in. Hopefully they can hold this lead for the sweep.

 

[tigermud]

Zach Short PH for Keith in the 8th with a RHP still on the mound. not sure if something is wrong with Keith now or what. Bat injury perhaps.

 

[lonesometiger]

SO FAR SO GOOD

 

[biggunsbob]

Melton settled in fabulous after first 8 batters were ball one.
Anderson up in the Pen.

 

[tigermud]

Melton at 82 pitches gets to start the 8th at least. but at 65 the other day Montero couldn't start the 7th. Maybe A.I. Hintch learned his lesson?

 

[lonesometiger]

WHAT HAPPEN TO CK?

 

[tigermud]

Hellva Job Melton

 

[biggunsbob]

Wow 17 batters in a row by Melton.

I don’t trust Anderson so get him some more runs.

 

[biggunsbob]

That will work. Another sac fly.
