MLB

Max Muncy’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth off Alex Lange gave the Dodgers a 3-2 victory over the Tigers last night. Detroit took an early lead, with homers by Spencer Torkelson and Parker Meadows, but L-A got one back off Tyler Holton in the fourth, and another off Jason Foley in the eighth.

The Tigers visit the Dodgers again tonight. Reese Olson will pitch against Bobby Miller. Coverage will start at 9:45 on 99.3 The Lift.

Alex Faedo’s season is over. The Tigers placed him on the injured list yesterday with a finger blister. Reliever Brendan White has been called up from Toledo. Outfielder Riley Greene will undergo exploratory elbow surgery today in Texas. Greene has been out since he hurt the elbow while making a catch in a game September 1st.

The Brewers outscored the Cardinals 7-3 last evening. Josh Donaldson, Tyrone Taylor and Sal Frelick doubled as the Crew drove home four in the fourth. William Contreras homered.

The Brewers visit the Cardinals again this evening. Adrian Houser will start against Zack Thompson.

The Cubs won and the Reds lost, so Milwaukee’s lead in the National League Central Division stands at six games over Chicago, and seven games over Cincinnati.
