MLB
The Tigers used a late surge to overpower the Yankees 12-2 last evening. After falling behind early, Detroit tied the contest with a Parker Meadows home run in the fifth, then blew the game open with nine runs in the seventh inning, kick-started by a Meadows RBI single, and boosted by a two-run Kerry Carpenter triple. In between, New York pitcher Mark Leiter walked in two runs, forced in another when he hit Colt Keith, and allowed yet another to score on a wild pitch. Casey Mize gave up two runs over six innings, and struck out eight. Chris Paddack pitched three perfect innings to earn his first career save.
The Tigers play in New York again tonight. Jack Flaherty will start against Carlos Rodón. Coverage will begin at 6:40 on 99.3 The Lift.
Zach McKinstry was scratched from last night’s starting lineup with back stiffness. He’s considered day to day. Detroit reliever Bailey Horn has been granted paternity leave. Drew Sommers has been brought up to fill in.
The Brewers dropped their second straight game to the Rangers, 5-4, last evening. Chad Patrick started, and was relieved by Aaron Ashby as Texas scored four runs in the fifth inning. Jake Bauers homered.
The Brewers conclude that series at Texas this afternoon. Freddy Peralta will pitch against Merrill Kelly.
Patrick was recalled from Nashville to make the start. Carlos Rodriguez was sent down. Rhys Hoskins returned from the injured list, and Anthony Seigler was returned to the Sounds.
