Jake Rogers brings Tigers back into the game with one swing -- three-run homer. 5-3
They just showed Jim Leyland on the big board here. He looked about as disgusted with what he's seen in this game and you'd expect
Wenceel Perez did not touch home plate on what would have been an SF-7.
Man, Joey Cora just about got smoked by a Zach McKinstry line drive foul ball. How he twisted away from it was a minor miracle..
Jack Flaherty was over 70 pitches in the third inning Monday. Casey Mize is at 72 pitches through 3.
This has got ugly fast. Parker Meadows lost a 114-mph missile in the sun by Oneil Cruz. Spencer Torkelson stretched early and missed a throw from Zach McKinstry, then was slow to retrieve it. Cruz scored all the way from second.
Casey Mize has thrown 49 pitches in two innings. Two runs in, two runners thrown out at the plate by Javier Baez. Two runs shouldn't be insurmountable, but then again, the Tigers have scored three runs in the last four games.
Slick play by Javier Baez to throw out Spencer Horwitz at the plate helps Casey Mize escape a first-inning mess. Horwitz and Bryan Reynolds both ripped splitters, but Mize got Tommy Pham (6-2 ground out) and Oneil Cruz, strikeout looking. No damage

Heartbreaking. Prayers up, for sure.
Steven Moya’s wife Elizabeth passed away unexpectedly on a flight in Taiwan. He addressed fans just days later. Please pray for Steven, and his two daughters. Absolutely heartbreaking. Psalm 34:18.
B White wasn’t on the 40-man, but the number thing … cold. (Haha)
Takes Brendan White's 40-man spot AND his jersey # in one swoop. Tough business!
Oh man.
Per the transactions log, RHP RJ Petit has been promoted to Triple-A Toledo. This will be his Mud Hens' debut. RHP Brendan White, who pitched in 33 games at the big-league level in 2023, was released.

A much needed clean inning for Tommy Kahnle, 10 changeups, 3 four-seams. Got a called third strike with a fastball.
Nice work by Dietrich Enns. He held the game at 3-0, pitching 2.2 innings of scoreless ball. The Tigers will get three innings against the Pirates' bullpen to get back in this
