Digest more
Here's everything Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday, July 25 — before and after a 6-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park.
The Tigers got one of their most important players back from the IL. In turn, they snapped a brutal losing streak Sunday.
Gleyber Torres hit a three-run homer off ex-Tiger Max Scherzer and the Tigers beat the Blue Jays, 10-4, to snap a 6-game skid.
The Guardians have responded to their 10-game losing streak with a 10-2 stretch that has them, again, in the middle of the playoff race.
The Tigers led the AL Central by seven games on Sept. 6, 2009, and proceeded to finish the year 11-15 while the Twins won 18 of 26. That forced a Game 163, where the Tigers appropriately blew a 10th-inning lead to ultimately lose in 12.
Diamondbacks: Eduardo Rodriguez (3-6, 5.50 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 93 strikeouts); Tigers: Troy Melton (0-1, 10.80 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, seven strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The Detroit Tigers host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday to start a three-game series.
