On Saturday, the Toledo Mud Hens rolled out one of the more unique baseball jersey's I have ever seen.
Tigers prospect Nick Castellanos has moved up to No. 15 in Baseball America's Midseason Top 50 prospects list unveiled Monday.
Tigers outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo homered Monday during a 4-2 extra-inning win at Cleveland. Tuiasosopo went deep in the fourth inning off starter Scott Kazmir for a solo shot with one out.

Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera are two big reasons the Detroit Tigers have dominated the Cleveland Indians this season.

If the Cleveland Indians are to overtake Detroit atop the AL Central, they'll need Masterson to continue his home success and help end their recent struggles against the Tigers.
Justin Verlander pitched seven shutout innings.
