MLB
The Tigers fell to the Royals 5-2 last night. Troy Melton took the tough loss, pitching into the sixth, and allowing three runs – one was unearned. Both of Detroit’s runs scored in the seventh, on an RBI double by Zach McKinstry, and a single by Kevin McGonigle.
After the early August surge that nearly pushed them into first place in the American League Central Division, the Tigers have lost five of their last six games and have dropped back to fourth place, six games behind the White Sox.
The Tigers will visit the Royals again tonight. Drew Anderson will start against Michael Wacha. Coverage will begin at 6:50 on 99.3 The Lift.
Keider Montero will skip his next start. Team officials say he’s recovering slowly from his last start, and needs some rest. He has not been placed on the injured list.
The Brewers shaded the Braves 2-1 yesterday. Milwaukee scratched out both of their runs in the third inning. Jacob Misiorowski allowed four hits over six shutout innings.
The Brewers welcome the Braves again this afternoon. Logan Henderson will pitch against Martín Pérez.
