MLB
The Tigers suffered their second straight loss to the Rays Saturday, falling 8-3. Tampa Bay jumped all over opener Brant Hurter, hurting him for four runs before Sawyer Gipson-Long replaced him with two out. Gipson Long pitched through the seventh, and allowed the other four runs. It’s just the third time this season Detroit has lost three straight games.
The Tigers take on the Rays in Florida again today. Casey Mize will pitch against Zack Littell. Coverage will begin at 11:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Brewers blanked the Twins 9-0 Saturday. Jose Quintana allowed just three hits over six innings to get the win. Isaac Collins had two hits, drove in three runs, and scored twice.
The Brewers continue that series in Minnesota today. Quinn Priester will start against David Festa.
If it weren’t for bad luck, he’d have no luck at all. Milwaukee outfielder Garrett Mitchell, who’s been out for nearly two months because of a sore oblique, dove back to first base to escape a pickoff throw in a rehab appearance with the Sounds Friday, and injured his shoulder. He’ll be examined this week, once the swelling goes down.
NBA
The Thunder will host the Pacers in game seven of the NBA Championship Series tonight.
