[Mitchrapp]

Early games kill me. Up 8-5 in 8th.

Edit: 7-4.

Good to see the bats come alive today. ‘Bout time.

I wonder what happened to Moore?

I wonder what happened to Moore?

Injured something fielding a bunt early in the game.

Injured something fielding a bunt early in the game.

Yup. Right knee

Great win. Especially after falling behind. Stewart with the salami of the foul poll. Miggy squared up on the ball all day.

Hopefully it?s not too bad, but knee sprains typically come with a 2-4 week recovery time.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Starts the season well on a player most would call a bum and an injury. It's never easy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Walk, double and a grand slam ! Very nice !

 

[gotime909]

I'm still sticking with Stewart for AL ROY. I'm betting 30+ hrs from him this year

 

[manchild98]

3 HR's as a team this year...but all of them meaningful AF.

Beavis is back in the rotation.

The Tigers will make another move on Sunday. The likeliest scenario is that right-handed reliever Drew VerHagen (forearm inflammation) will be activated from his rehab assignment a day or two earlier than planned.

Shane Greene is the third pitcher in major league history and first in Tigers history to record six saves in his team?s first 10 games.
