Wow, McKinstry HR, 4-1, followed by Urshela on by error, and a Meadows single, 5-1. Meadows then caught stealing.

Decent half inning for Vest. Just in time to see Zach make up for his error.
Holland beach was packed.

Tarik Skubal is the 3rd pitcher this season with a start of 13+ K and 0 BB (Herz, Glasnow) and is the 4th Tigers pitcher ever with such a start, joining Mickey Lolich (1968, 1971), Justin Verlander (2009), and Matthew Boyd (2019).
Most career 12+ strikeout games by left-handed pitchers in Detroit Tigers history: Tarik Skubal - 2 Hal Newhouser - 2 David Price - 2 Matthew Boyd - 2 Mickey Lolich - 19.
Tarik Skubal joins Mickey Lolich as the only players in franchise history to have an outing with 13+ strikeouts, zero walks, and no more than one run allowed.

Want grasp how not to score runs 5 out of 6 days have a lineup with Canha Verling McKinstry Urshela who's combined average under .185 and wRC+ under 60 for the last 40 days..be 4 of your nine hitters.

that you have Gio Urshela Zack McKInstry and Ryan Krediler playing 3B/SS everyday for your baseball team..either means your first 6 options are hurt..or you have made very very very poor choices.

Vierling will now add 1B to his tool bag..since June 1, 186/232/339 59 wRC+ 571 OPS the only position he needs to play well is Batter..he is bad at that.

[Mitchrapp]

[nydo77]

Win, 5-1. Our first series sweep since the White Sox series to start the season.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweep!!.. First one since opening weekend verses the white sox.

 

[Mitchrapp]

10 wins for Skubal before all star break. Not sure the last Tiger to do that.. Maybe JV.

[Woodbery] A.J. Hinch on Parker Meadows' exit in the 8th inning: "I don't love what I heard from the get-go in talking to him and our trainers...It's something with the hamstring. That's always alarming."

 

[kalinecountry]

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.

Cast off former tiger Hirua signed on with the angels . He is tearing it up since leaving tigers system. Hopefully it's just the new park and not coaching.

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.
