MLB
The Tigers’ bats went quiet last night, in a 3-0 loss to the Athletics. Detroit collected just four hits. Jack Flaherty struck out seven over six innings, but gave up a three-run homer to Nick Kurtz in the third, and took the loss.
The Tigers host the A’s again this afternoon. Dietrich Enns will be brought up from Toledo to pitch against Jeffrey Springs. Coverage will begin at 12:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
Enns’ start today will mark his first appearance in the majors since 2021, when he was with the Rays. He then spent two seasons in Japan, and pitched in Korea last summer. The Tigers will need to make space on both the 25 and 40-man rosters for him.
Rookie Jacob Misiorowski struck out eight over five scoreless innings, as the Brewers blanked the Pirates 4-0 yesterday. Milwaukee plated all four of their runs off young Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes in the third inning, powered by a two-run Eric Haase double.
The Brewers have today off, and welcome the Rockies tomorrow.
