The Tigers have announced the following roster moves:

*Recalled RHP Bryan Garc?a from Triple A Toledo.

*Selected RHP Drew Hutchison from Triple A Toledo.

Clarification: Tigers actually were not able to select anybody in organization to fill Joe Jimenez's spot. Teams must have 3 or more players going on COVID IL list to put that in effect, according to A.J. Hinch. Tigers added Drew Hutchison back to 40-man roster to make the move.

Need a win to avoid going 10 games under .500

After Pirates series they have 12 straight games vs division leaders (TB, White Sox, Brewers) then 6 games vs KC & MN, and finish with 3 @ the White Sox.

Tigers 2 - 1 bottom of the third inning.

 

[kalinecountry]

Peralta loads the bases with 2 out in the 4th and K's the best pirates hitter reynolds.

2 - 1 Tigers,

 

[kalinecountry]

Two hits for Miggy tonight that gives him 100 on the season and 2,966 career.

Tigers still lead 2 - 1 going to the bottom of the 5th,

Dang Hill looked awful those 2 pitches.

 

[biggunsbob]

Weird how the Tigers are struggling against 49 win Pittsburgh:/

Need the blast guys !

 

[biggunsbob]

That ball was pretty low. Hard to swing at that.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dang. Can?t even beat Pittsburgh.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Dang. Can?t even beat Pittsburgh.

It's baseball. The same reason why we won the series vs Cinci and swept Houston. Pittsburgh won 50 games so it's not like they never win.

Both teams left a ton of runners on base but it was the Tigers who end up on the wrong side of the fail ledger.

Another loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates... Willy Peralta starts and the offense forgets how to hit with runners in scoring position. Miggy makes more fun history. Roster moves!
