Six wins needed in the final eight games to get to .500 for the season.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Dang, down 2-1 bases juice and 2 outs. 3-2 count and he k's. So close.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers have the bases loaded in the 9th but strikeouts by Goodrum and H. Castro end the game 2 - 1.

The Tigers have announced the following roster moves:
* Placed OF Victor Reyes on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain.

Miguel Cabrera since 5/7/2021:
287/343/424
110 wRC+
70 RBI
12.20 RE 24
50.2% Hard hit
91.7 EV

Victor Reyes, who is battling to stay in the outfield next year, is on the IL for the rest of the year. Daz Cameron, his competition, has just 8 more games to daz-zle A. J. Hinch.

The Tigers have 75 wins.
Michael Fulmer has 12 saves.
Akil Baddoo has played 116 games and has a .773 OPS.
Would not have guessed any of those things at the start of the year.

The big question to ask is if Giants GM Farhan Zaidi had been in charge of "renewing" - not rebuilding - the Detroit Tigers, would he have traded Verlander, Martinez, Castellanos, and others?

Wily Peralta takes finale loss, but shows resilience.
Tigers official site

Miguel Cabrera needs 16 hits to reach 3,000 for his career. He needs four doubles to reach 600, and one walk to reach 1,200.

Royals 2, Tigers 1: Just not quite enough runs.
It went right down to the last strike, but a ground-rule double probably hosed the Tigers? chance to tie the game in the ninth.
