JD with a 2 run shot

 

[turok]

JD Martinez greets his former ballclub with a 2 run homer...how appropriate.

Then hits a hot one-hopper to Candelario, who may have a split middle-fingernail on his throwing hand, after air-mailing his throw to first.

JD advanced to second, Candy taken out of the game. Rodriguez replaces him @ third.

Needless to post, JD in to score on consecutive singles...3-0...no outs...Lewicki walks the sacks full as the wheels begin to come off in the 4th.

DP scores another run...4-0...runner on third.

Walks consecutive batters...sacks full...annd he gone.

Saupold in and puts out the fire.

 

[turok]

bogarts leads off the bottom 5th with a homer to right...5-0.

JD singles.

moreland singles.

nunez singles...bases loaded.

holt out on FC, JD scores...6-0 and the rout is on.

Saupold coaxes a DP to stop the bleeding...for now.

Betts is on the DL retro to late May,

3 foot pedroia is back on the DL with ongoing knee issue,

Pomeranz just went on the DL with biceps tendonitis,

JD Martinez DH'ing with sore back,

Tigers must have left the Goose back at Comerica.

 

[turok]

Anemic Tigers with just two hits...both by Nick.

Machado becomes the only other Tiger with a hit in the 8th.

Tigers lose 6-0 and fall to 4 games under .500, are SHO and must be one of the leading MLB teams in that category.

They are pretty ripe to get swept, given their terribad road record and playing vs one of the top 5 teams in MLB.

I predicted 3 or 4 wins in this 11 game stretch vs NYY, Bos, Cle & MN. 1-2 so far.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well so far, vs the good teams lately - 3-3 vs Seattle, won 3 of 4 vs the Angels, split a DH vs the NYY. Not so bad. Need a nice win at Boston.
