Cabrera is in the lineup. Phew.
Baseball-reference game preview here.
Today’s lineup (numbers off of Chris Sale). I’d swap Kinsler and Maybin, and put Upton 7th when he’s back.
- Ian Kinsler, 2B (6-for-27, 2 HR, 5 walks, 5 K’s)
- Cameron Maybin, CF
- Miguel Cabrera, 1B (8-for-33, 2 HR, 9 walks, 12 K’s)
- Victor Martinez, DH (16-for-34, 3 doubles, 4 HR, 2 walks, 5 K’s)
- J.D. Martinez, RF (6-for-22, 2 doubles, HR, 3 walks, 12 K’s)
- Nick Castellanos, 3B (1-for-16, walk, 10 K’s)
- James McCann, C (2-for-8, 3 K’s)
- Mike Aviles, LF (5-for-31, HR, 2 walks, 3 K’s)
- Jose Iglesias, SS (4-for-11, K)
Pelfry betters Sale. It’s up to the bullpen now.
THANK YOU Mr Ausmus for not bringing back Pelfrey for the 7th inning… you may be finally catching on to your pitcher’s tendencies & limits
Pelfrey may finally get that elusive W–and against Cy Sale, no less.
Good job Pelfrey..enjoy the onslaught of 3 runs the Tigers got for you!..
JD..huge shot!. Lets get Pelfrey a win!
Also, do not miss the fact that Greene looked great!
I wonder when the last time was that the Tigers bunted twice in a row. Brad pulling out the small ball. And look at that, the pinch-runner just paid off. A lot of good things today!
agreed!!… Ausmus a +3 so far… out managed Ventura today.
Mark Lowe is only disappointment, he needs to adjust something. Does K-Rod really get a save? Brightest spot today: Pelfrey didn’t come out to pitch the 7th! By the way he did pitch a good game. Sweep expected.
Time to DL Deuce?
Tigers have been bunting a little
Tigers have been stealing a little
Tigers have been hitting and running a little!!
Maybe Brad renewed or even purchased a subscription to !”how to manage and win at the Major League level!”
