MLB

The Tigers scored three runs in the top of the eighth inning, and came from behind to edge the Royals 3-2 last night. Detroit had been held to just three hits over the first seven innings. Trailing 2-0 in the eighth, they loaded the bases with two outs. Kerry Carpenter’s walk forced home one run, and Matt Vierling’s two-run double proved to be the game-winner. Starter Matt Manning pitched into the sixth, and gave up both Kansas City runs – both unearned.

The Tigers visit the Royals again tonight. Tarik Skubal will start against Daniel Lynch. Coverage will begin at 7:45 on 99.3 The Lift.

The Tigers have signed their top pick from the recent MLB draft. High school outfielder Max Clark was the third overall pick in the draft. He will forego his college commitment to Vanderbilt, and report to the Tigers’ training complex in Lakeland, Florida. The deal is reportedly worth $7.7 million.

The Brewers had yesterday off, and visit the Phillies tonight. Julio Teheran will pitch against Aaron Nola.

Milwaukee starter Wade Miley is back on the injured list, after experiencing discomfort in his throwing elbow.

The Brewers have signed deals with their top two picks in the recent draft – $3.15 million for former Wake Forest third baseman Brock Wilken, who was taken at number-18; and $2 million for high school pitcher Josh Knoth, who was selected 33rd overall.
