MLB
The Tigers suffered a 3-1 loss to the Guardians Saturday. Tarik Skubal returned from the injured list, pitched into the fifth inning, and allowed all three Cleveland runs. Dillon Dingler singled home Gleyber Torres with Detroit’s only run in the first inning.
The Tigers visit the Guardians again this afternoon. Casey Mize will return from the injured list to face Gavin Williams. Coverage will begin at 1:15 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Tigers made room for Skubal in the rotation by placing Jack Flaherty on the injured list. He suffered a lower leg strain in Friday’s game. Detroit also sent pitcher Ty Madden down to Toledo, and brought up infielder Hao Yu Lee.
The Brewers’ late comeback fell short in a 9-8 loss to the Phillies Saturday. Philadelphia broke open a tight game with five runs off Shane Drohan and Chad Patrick in the sixth inning. Milwaukee responded with two in the seventh, and three in the bottom of the eighth, but couldn’t complete the comeback. Jackson Chourio hit two home runs, and Garrett Mitchell hit one.
The Brewers host the Phillies again today. Kyle Harrison will pitch against Cristopher Sánchez.
