Bummer, was hoping Gerber would play one of these games today.

Bummer, was hoping Gerber would play one of these games today.

I was thinking the same.
Well, he isn't starting, but still a chance he gets in the game.
Maybe LF, or as a Pinch hitter, Pinch Runner.

This one isn't on television for me.

The red hot red sox are 16-2, playing @ A's late...almost halfway to meeting or beating the '84 Tigers 35-5 start...:shrug:

Jones triples.

Jones scores on RBI single by Iggy!

Steals second.

 

[turok]

Reyes has had very little playing time since the first game of the season, when he got hurt colliding with Iggy.

 

[turok]

buh-bye slim lead...merrrifield homers.

moustakas singles...Norris yanked.

 

[turok]

Norris deserved a little more run support, but the Tigers have all of two hits vs another of royals' Cy contending staff.

Junis threw 7 scoreless allowing only three hits againts tigers last time they faced him. 2 hits 1 run on him after 5 is improvement

Nick is due for a HR calling it for the 6th

[turok]

1-2-3 quick by the Tigers batters in the 6th...Junis @ 76 pitches may be able to go 9 IP himself.

 

[tigermud]

Hicks with some nice hustle to put the tigers into a great scoreing opp here

 

[turok]

Finally a GR double by Niko...Hicks safe @ first, Cmon JaCoby!

 

[turok]

Jones sacfly, Tigers retake a lead.
