Tigers watching another jettisoned player dominate with Angels is painful
Former first-round draft pick and dumped Tigers minor leaguer Keston Hiura is putting up crazy numbers with the Angels' Triple-A affiliate.
The former Tigers spring training invite is back in MLB with the Angels.

The Tigers called Parker Meadows back up from Triple-A yesterday, optioning Akil Baddoo to Toledo in the corresponding move. Meadows marked his return to the Show with a solo home run in the Tigers’ 5-4 win over the Reds on Friday, hopefully indicating that the 24-year-old outfielder can translate his Triple-A success to some more consistent production in the big leagues. After batting only .096/.224/.219 in his first 85 plate appearances this year, Detroit sent Meadows back to Triple-A on May 7, and Meadows responded with a .298/.394/.511 slash line in 221 PA over his two months in Toledo.
“A little mechanical adjustment” seemed to do the trick, as Meadows said that keeping his hands up allowed him to keep a more level swing, since “it’s hard to hit a rising fastball when your swing is uphill.” While Meadows continued to have trouble with breaking balls in Toledo, being able to catch up with high velocity could help Meadows produce at something closer to average offense in the majors, which might be all he needs to stick as a regular center fielder given his top-tier glovework. Since Detroit is falling out of the playoff race, the remainder of the season could be an important evaluation period for Meadows to show he can continue to be a key part of the Tigers’ future plans.

July 7 in Tigers and mlb history:
1900: By defeating Chicago, 11 - 4, Beaneaters hurler Kid Nichols takes only nine seasons to win 300 games. The 30-year-old righty will amass 361 victories during his 15-year career and will remain the youngest player ever to accomplish the feat.
1906: The legendary Satchel Paige was born in Mobile, AL.

1909: Hall of Famer Billy Herman was born on this day in New Albany, IN.

1909: Inventor George Cahill brings his portable lights to Grand Rapids, Michigan for a night game with the Zanesville Infants (Central League). The host team wins, 11 - 10, in seven innings, with the only complaints coming from the outfielders, who have trouble seeing balls hit above the lights.
1912: To fend off possible future challenges to the legality of the standard contract and its reserve clause, new wording provides for compensation to the player for the right to renew. A player's salary is specified as 75 percent for his services and 25 percent for the privilege of reserving them for the following season.
1922: Commissioner Landis bars major league teams from playing in Montreal.
1922: Pirates OF Max Carey is the busiest man on the field in an 18-inning 9 - 8 loss to the Giants. He gets six hits, draws three walks, has three stolen bases, including one of home, and catches seven flies.
His 51 stolen bases in 53 attempts is the highest success rate ever achieved by a stolen base leader, remarkable in a season where the league average success rate on steals is 54%. His record of 31 straight steals without being caught will be broken by Davey Lopes' 38 in 1975.
1923: Cleveland scores in every inning against the Red Sox, but playing at home, the team does not bat in the 9th. In the eight innings, they run up an American League-record 27 runs, including 13 in the 6th, for a 27 - 3 win. In three innings, Lefty O'Doul gives up 16 runs on 11 hits and 8 walks.
1929: Fire destroys a grandstand at Mack Park before a Detroit Stars game. Miraculously, no one is killed.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAmWiNVXgAIlKXt.jpg
1931: The Browns and the White Sox play a 12-inning game in which not a single strikeout is recorded. It is the longest whiffless game in major-league history. Chicago wins, 10 - 9.
1935: At a special meeting, the American League owners raise the waiver price to $7,500.
1936: The National League, having lost the first three All-Star Games, wins the 1936 All-Star Game, 4 - 3 at Boston's National League Park with four different Cub players (Augie Galan, Billy Herman, Gabby Hartnett and Frank Demaree) scoring runs.
After Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell each pitch scoreless three-inning stints, Curt Davis is hammered by the American League, including Lou Gehrig's home run, but Lon Warneke shuts the door.
Meanwhile, the NL is helped by Joe DiMaggio's loose fielding and error and Augie Galan's home run. Joe DiMaggio is the first rookie to play in an All-Star Game.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0ZW0fEWIAQl5Uy?format=jpg&name=small
The NL plays its starting lineup except for two late-inning pinch hitters. Local favorite and three-time starter Wally Berger doesn't appear.
Missing from the NL roster are Dolph Camilli and Buck Jordan, co-leaders in the batting race at .348, as well as the eventual batting champ, Paul Waner.
Charlie Gehringer goes 2-for-3 with a double in the All-Star Game
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D-tl39aWkAAH2IT.png
1937: With President Franklin D. Roosevelt in attendance at Griffith Stadium in Washington, Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig drives in four runs with a home run and a double to lead the American league to an 8 - 3 victory over the National League in All-Star action.
Dizzy Dean's toe is fractured by a drive off the bat of Earl Averill. After the injury, Dean is unable to pitch with the same delivery. When he returns to action, he uses an unnatural motion, causing an arm injury from which he never recovers.
Baseball legends Lou Gehrig, Joe Cronin, Bill Dickey, Joe DiMaggio, Charlie Gehringer, Jimmie Foxx and Hank Greenberg pose before the All-Star Game at Griffith Stadium, Washington, D.C.
1942: A military all-star team that includes Bob Feller, Cecil Travis, Sam Chapman, Benny McCoy, Johnny Sturm and Frankie Pytlak loses, 5 - 0, to American League stars in a game at Cleveland in front of more than 60,000 fans. Jim Bagby wins against his Indian teammate Feller. Military relief receives $160,000.
1948: The Indians stun the baseball world by signing Satchel Paige, veteran Negro League pitcher. The move is ridiculed by some as a Bill Veeck publicity stunt, and J.G. Taylor Spink in The Sporting News editorializes, "Veeck has gone too far in his quest for publicity [...] To sign a hurler at Paige's age is to demean the standards of baseball in the big circuits."
The 42-year-old Paige will answer the critics in his first game tomorrow, getting a relief decision in a 8 - 6 win over New York in a doubleheader sweep. He will finish at 6 - 1. Paige is the oldest player to debut in the majors, but not the first 40-year-old: Chuck Hostetler in 1944 was 40.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0ZVI32XoAArtrJ?format=png&name=small
1951: OF Hoot Evers of the Tigers goes 5 for 5 with a double and stolen base and scores 5 runs against the Indians as the motor city men roll, 13 - 3. Bob Cain is the victor with batterymate Joe Ginsberg driving in five runs on four hits.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dg3KoE4WAAcLc8-.jpg
1954: In a loss to the white sox, Al Kaline shows off his strong and accurate throwing arm in 3 separate innings, in the 2nd inning Kaline fires a strike to catcher Frank House to nab chicago's Freddie Marsh, 3rd inning Kaline fires a strike to third baseman Ray Boone to get the speedy Jim Rivera by 5 feet, and in the 4th inning Kaline throws out and fast base stealer from the 'go go' white sox Minnie Minoso in another throw to third base. Minoso is tagged out in a rundown between 2nd and 3rd. Word gets around the American League not to run on Kaline's arm yet they still do until 1958 when Kaline leads all Outfielders with 23 assists on the season. Soon thereafter most all runners on first, second, and third watch Kaline make his catches of fly balls even to the warning track, and while standing on the base, Kaline throws a perfect strike to second, third, and home, with said base runner not moving an inch.
1959: At Forbes Field, Hank Aaron's eighth-inning single ties the score and a triple hit by Willie Mays plates Aaron with the winning run in the 5 - 4 All-Star victory in the first of the two Mid-Summer Classics to be played during the season. Don Drysdale pitches perfect ball the first three innings.
1964: Johnny Callison's 9th-inning 3-run home run off Dick Radatz caps a 4-run rally and gives the National League a 7 - 4 win in the All-Star Game at Shea Stadium. This evens the series at 17.
1968: Denny McLain, the major leagues' winningest pitcher with 16, helps Detroit take a 9 1/2 game lead in the American League at the All-Star break, as the Tigers sweep the A's, 5 - 4 and 7 - 6.
McLain wins the opener when Willie Horton clubs a 3-run homer, and the Tigers beat the A's 7-6; Lolich strikes out Reggie Jackson to save win for Sparma (7-8). Al Kaline slugs a 3-run homer in the nitecap.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dg3LKiqW0AAKHJc.jpg
1968: Phil Regan picks up two wins in relief for the second time this season as the Cubs sweep the Pirates, 5 - 4 and 4 - 3, edging Bob Veale and Elroy Face. Regan won a pair on April 21st for the Dodgers, and no other reliever has ever won a pair twice in a season. The Vulture will the top the National League with 12 relief wins and 25 saves.
1970: The Detroit Tigers signed Steve Grilli as an amateur free agent.
1971: Commissioner Bowie Kuhn announces that players from the Negro Leagues elected to the Hall of Fame will be given full membership in the museum. It had been previously announced by Kuhn that they would be honored in a separate wing, until the Commissioner puts on a toupee with some common sense in it.
1978: Rookie Alan Trammell goes 5-for-6 in a 12-7 win in Texas.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dg3LyoBX0AAD3t5.jpg
1979: Mike Schmidt homers in his first three times up for the Phillies, to give him a major league record-tying four straight over two games. Schmidt flies to the warning track in his next at bat, and the Phils lose, 8 - 6 to the Giants. Schmidt will hit three more home runs in the next three games to tie the National League record of seven home runs in five games.
1984: Tigers beat the rangers 5 - 2. Willie Hernandez allows one hit and strikes out 5 in 3 innings for his 16th save. Lance Parrish hits his team-leading 16th home run.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmsEOoTWIAAZWcF.jpg
1998: In the highest-scoring game in All-Star history, the American League beats the senior circuit, 13 - 8 in the thin air at Coors Field in Denver in the 69th All-Star Game. The 21-run total surpasses the previous record set in 1954 when the American League beat the Nationals, 11 - 9 in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. Baltimore's Roberto Alomar is named the game's MVP, going 3 for 4 with a home run, RBI, stolen base and two runs scored.
2005: The sports of baseball and softball are dropped from the for the 2012 Olympic Games scheduled to take place in London. It is the first time in 69 years that events have been cut from the games. There is criticism that these events are American-dominated, though the Cuban national team won Gold in 2004 and Australia won Silver. Japan and South Korea have appeared in the Silver Medal game in the past as well. Another reason given is that top professional players do not always appear, though Nippon Pro Baseball and the Korea Baseball Organization have routinely sent their top stars, as does the Cuban National League.
2006: The Detroit Tigers signed Jason Karnuth as a free agent.
2006: The Detroit Tigers released Hector Mercado.
2009: The Detroit Tigers signed Nate Bump as a free agent.
2017: Victor Martinez gets his 2,000th hit in a loss to the indians.
2018: JaCoby Jones makes an amazing catch to rob adrian beltre of a home run in a loss to the rangers.
2019: The Futures Game is played under a new format, with top prospects from American League teams facing their counterparts from the National League in a game shortened to 7 innings. The two sides can't determine a winner, however, in the game played at Progressive Field, as it ends in a 2 - 2 tie after 8 innings. A two-run homer by Sam Huff of the AL ties the game in the 7th, and neither team can score in the extra frame, in spite of the Schiller Rule, placing a runner on second base to start the frame, being in effect. Huff is named the winner of the Larry Doby Award as the game's MVP.
2022: The Detroit Tigers signed Nick Vincent as a free agent.

2005: The sports of baseball and softball are dropped from the for the 2012 Olympic Games scheduled to take place in London. It is the first time in 69 years that events have been cut from the games. There is criticism that these events are American-dominated, though the Cuban national team won Gold in 2004 and Australia won Silver. Japan and South Korea have appeared in the Silver Medal game in the past as well. Another reason given is that top professional players do not always appear, though Nippon Pro Baseball and the Korea Baseball Organization have routinely sent their top stars, as does the Cuban National League.
2006: The Detroit Tigers signed Jason Karnuth as a free agent.
2006: The Detroit Tigers released Hector Mercado.
2009: The Detroit Tigers signed Nate Bump as a free agent.
2017: Victor Martinez gets his 2,000th hit in a loss to the indians.
2018: JaCoby Jones makes an amazing catch to rob adrian beltre of a home run in a loss to the rangers.
2019: The Futures Game is played under a new format, with top prospects from American League teams facing their counterparts from the National League in a game shortened to 7 innings. The two sides can't determine a winner, however, in the game played at Progressive Field, as it ends in a 2 - 2 tie after 8 innings. A two-run homer by Sam Huff of the AL ties the game in the 7th, and neither team can score in the extra frame, in spite of the Schiller Rule, placing a runner on second base to start the frame, being in effect. Huff is named the winner of the Larry Doby Award as the game's MVP.
2022: The Detroit Tigers signed Nick Vincent as a free agent.

Tigers veterans are just as responsible for offensive woes as struggling young players
Mark Canha and Gio Urshela's non-contributions have been contributing to the Tigers' slide as much as the young players.

Tigers center fielder Parker Meadows suffered a right hamstring injury while trying to steal second base in the eighth inning of today’s 5-1 win over the Reds. More will be known after Meadows undergoes testing, but manager A.J. Hinch admitted to media that “I don’t love what I heard from the get-go” after initial talks with Meadows and the team’s training staff. Meadows was only just called back up to the Tigers’ roster after a two-month stint in Triple-A, as the defensive standout was trying to get his bat going after an ice-cold performance at the plate in April.
In other Tigers injury news, Jack Flaherty is tentatively scheduled to start against the Guardians on Thursday. Flaherty’s last turn through the rotation was skipped after he received an injection to help treat a recurring back issue. Flaherty also received another injection earlier in June. Even after a shaky performance in his last start, Flaherty still has a 3.24 ERA in 89 innings during what has been a nice comeback season for the right-hander. Since Flaherty is considered a prime trade candidate heading into the deadline, a few more healthy and effective starts would go a long way to ease the doubts of any potential suitors, and help the Tigers land a bigger return in a deal.
