Jake Rogers becomes unlikely hero in Tigers’ win.
BYBTB

Tigers' Melton has career-high nine strikeouts in win over Athletics.
It’s been an emotional week already for the Tigers.
On Tuesday, the club and impactful third base coach Joey Cora suddenly, mutually, parted company.
Before the game Wednesday, Hall of Fame-bound Justin Verlander announced that this would be his final season. Not completely unexpected for the 43-year-old, but still a lot to process, for the organization, for his teammates and for the fanbase.

Troy Melton deals, Jake Rogers homers off bench for streaking Tigers.
On what was supposed to be a night on the bench, Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers unexpectedly had to step up and deliver Wednesday, July 8.
The Tigers' backup catcher had to spring to action in the bottom of the second inning after All-Star Dillon Dingler exited with an apparent right-hand injury.
Rogers quickly turned on a 91 mph fastball from Athletics starters Jeffrey Springs for a two-run home run, his second of the season.
