MLB
Reese Olson tossed a gem, as the Tigers blanked the Padres 6-0 yesterday. Olson pitched into the eighth inning, giving up just two hits. Justyn-Henry Malloy had a home run and an RBI double. Gleyber Torres and Dillon Dingler also homered.
The Tigers have today off, and begin a home set against the Orioles tomorrow. Coverage will begin at 6:15 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Brewers fell 4-2 to the Giants last night. Freddy Peralta pitched five shutout innings, but left as San Francisco scored all four of their runs in the sixth. After having been shut out through eight frames, Milwaukee threatened in the top of the ninth. Brice Turang’s bases-loaded ground rule double plated two runs, but Jackson Chourio struck out, and Christian Yelich’s infield grounder ended the game.
The Brewers conclude that series at San Francisco this afternoon. Tobias Myers will return from the injured list to start against Landen Roupp.
