MLB
The Tigers suffered an ugly 12-3 loss to the Mariners last night. Tarik Skubal had an off-night, allowing four runs over five innings. The game remained in reach for Detroit until Carlos Hernández and Brant Hurter gave up seven runs in the top of the ninth, while getting just one out. Catcher Jake Rogers closed out the game. Seattle’s Cal Raleigh hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and now has 38 for the season.
The Tigers host the Mariners again this afternoon. Freshly-appointed All-Star Casey Mize will pitch against George Kirby. Coverage will begin at 12:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
Mize became the sixth Tigers All-Star when he was named to replace Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, who will not be able to pitch.
The Brewers scored six runs in the third inning, and cruised past the Nationals 8-3 last evening. Quinn Priester gave up two runs over six innings, and earned the win. Christian Yelich and Andrew Vaughn homered.
The Brewers entertain the Nationals again this afternoon. Brandon Woodruff will start against Shinnosuke Ogasawara.
Milwaukee gained a second All-Star yesterday, as hard-throwing rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was added to the roster. He’ll fill in for Matthew Boyd of the Cubs. With just five Major League starts under his belt, Misiorowski becomes the fastest player in history to make an All-Star roster.
Aaron Ashby will be away from the Brewers for a few days on the paternity list. Tobias Myers has been called up to fill in.
