MLB
The Tigers cashed in early, and cruised past the Astros 7-2 yesterday. Six of those runs came in the first inning, with help from a Spencer Torkelson double, a Dillon Dingler triple, and two wild pitches by Houston’s Framber Valdez, each of which allowed a run to score. Charlie Morton gave up two runs over six innings to earn the win.
The Tigers have won 10 of their last 13 games. They’ll take today off, and entertain the Royals tomorrow. Coverage will begin at 6:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
Alex Cobb struck out four over three hitless innings of relief in his first rehab appearance with the Mud Hens Tuesday. He’ll pitch again this weekend. Cobb signed a $15 million free agent contract, but has missed the entire season with chronic hip problems.
The Brewers dropped their third straight game, 4-3 to the Cubs last evening. Chicago scored three in the third inning on Michael Busch’s bases-loaded double off Jacob Misiorowski. Brice Turang had three of Milwaukee’s six hits.
The Brewers will host the Cubs again this afternoon. Quinn Priester will pitch against Shota Imanaga.
Jackson Chourio is slated to begin a rehab assignment at Nashville tomorrow. He’s recovering from a hamstring strain.
