Detroit Tigers Recaps

Sawyer Gipson-Long was again good but Tigers relievers couldn’t get outs and turn a close lead into a blowout loss
Tigers 7, Athletics 3: Tarik Skubal is a bad man
The Tigers got contributions up and down the lineup, but the A’s were just bullied by the Tigers’ southpaw.

If you’re a weirdo that enjoys bases-on-balls, then you were in heaven tonight ‘cause you saw fourteen of ‘em. The rest of us weren’t that impressed.

Another lousy performance from the home team in all phases of the game.
Yankees 4, Tigers 1: The lumber continues to slumber at home
Reese Olson was excellent. The bullpen was poor. The offense was terrible.

Verlander vs. Miggy was epic. The rest of the game... not so much.
Astros 9, Tigers 2: Sometimes it’s just not your night
