MLB
The Tigers couldn’t hold an early lead, and dropped a 6-4 decision to the Astros last night. Kerry Carpenter’s seventh home run of the season in the first inning got Detroit off to a quick start. Gleyber Torres’ RBI single in the fifth made it 2-0, but Houston chased starter Reese Olson from the game with three in the sixth, and added three in the seventh to take control. Torres narrowed the gap with a two-run homer in the ninth.
The Tigers will try to salvage one game of that series at Houston this afternoon. Jackson Jobe will pitch against AJ Blubaugh, who will be making his major league debut. Coverage will begin at 1:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
Tigers reliever Beau Brieske is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with the West Michigan Whitecaps tonight. He’s been out with an inflamed ankle. Outfielder Manuel Margot started a rehab stint with the Mud Hens last evening. He’s recovering from a patellar tendon strain.
Freddy Peralta gave up back-to-back home runs in the first inning, but recovered, as the Brewers bounced the White Sox 7-2 last night. Peralta turned in six innings to get the win. Isaac Collins homered for Milwaukee.
That series continues in Chicago tonight. Tobias Myers will start against Shane Smith.
