Twilight League

In Twilight League baseball this evening…
• Northern Driveline takes on Craig Heinonen Coldwell Banker at the Driving Park.

MLB

The Tigers had yesterday off, and will host the Nationals tonight. Kenta Maeda will start against Mitchell Parker. Coverage will begin at 6:15 on 99.3 The Lift.

Colin Rae turned in a strong start, as the Brewers shaded the Blue Jays 3-1 last night. Rae allowed one one run on just three hits over seven innings. Jackson Chourio and Willy Adames homered.

The Brewers host the Blue Jays again tonight. Carlos F. Rodriguez is being called up from Nashville to start for Milwaukee, in his major league debut. Yusei Kikuchi will take the mound for Toronto.

Rodriguez will become the 12th pitcher to start a game for the Brewers this season, as the staff has battled numerous injuries. He takes the place of rookie Robert Gasser, who could be facing season-ending surgery on his elbow.

Outfielder Garrett Mitchell could finally be on his way back to the Crew. He’s been out since breaking a finger during spring training, but is beginning a rehab assignment with Milwaukee’s Arizona minor league team.

The NBA championship series continues tonight, as the Mavericks host the Celtics. Boston leads the series 2-0.

The Pistons’ front office rebuild continues. New team president Trajon Langdon has brought in Michael Blackstone as executive vice president of basketball operations. The two previously worked together in the Pelicans organization.
