The Detroit Tigers exploded for five runs in the third inning, and cruised to a 10-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox yesterday. Justin Upton hit two three-run homers. Justin Verlander gave up one run over six innings. Boston scored four times off Shane Greene in the seventh.
The Tigers have today off, and open a series in Minnesota tomorrow night. Anibal Sanchez will start against Kyle Gibson. Hear the first pitch at 8:10 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
Cleveland also won yesterday, so the Tigers remain seven games behind the Indians in the American League Central Division.
Cameron Maybin returned from the disabled list, and drove in two runs with a single yesterday. Some of Detroit’s other injured players may be back soon, as well. Shortstop Jose Iglesias will begin a rehab assignment in Toledo today. He’s nursing a bad hamstring. Jordan Zimmermann threw 30 pitches in a simulated outing yesterday, and could be ready to make a rehab start for the Mud Hens on Friday.
To make room for Maybin, the Tigers sent shortstop Dixon Machado back to Toledo. They also released reliever Bobby Parnell.
The Milwaukee Brewers scored four runs in the top of the ninth inning, and came from behind to defeat the Seattle Mariners 7-6 yesterday. Chris Carter tied the game with a two-run homer, and Scooter Gennett singled home the winning run. Keon Broxton homered twice.
