Max Scherzer struck out seven in six innings and Miguel Cabrera had four hits and drove in two runs to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 5-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.
The Tigers seem to be joining the growing number of major league teams with two hitting coaches.
Quintin Berry was hitting .364 as the No. 2 hitter in manager Jim Leyland's batting order -- and that was before he went 3-for-6 Wednesday night at Texas.
The Tigers had 17 hits Wednesday night in a 13-9 loss to the Texas Rangers. Fister (1-5) gave up nine runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings.
LHP Drew Smyly returned to the rotation Tuesday night after being on the disabled list due to a blister on his left middle finger, but he stumbled in the fourth inning.
If this isn't a career crossroads for Brennan Boesch, it's definitely an 'S' curve.
Yu Darvish struck out 10 in seven innings to win his seventh consecutive start at Rangers Ballpark, a 7-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
Not only is Yu Darvish tied for the most victories among rookies, he's the only pitcher with at least three starts at home to win all of them.
When the bottom five in the lineup aren't hitting, it's that much more important the top four become productive.
Josh Hamilton is trying to stop the dips — in his batting average and the chewing tobacco the Texas Rangers slugger has long used during games.
Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila could be back in the lineup as early as Tuesday after an MRI showed no structural damage to his left knee.
Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs with a pair of doubles, Rick Porcello struck out seven in six solid innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers 8-2 Monday night.
Detroit Tigers starter Rick Porcello has struggled in the past against the Texas Rangers, with Josh Hamilton doing some of that damage this year.
Don Kelly (bruised left knee) left the June 21 game, and he didn't play June 22-24. He is day-to-day.
Justin Verlander stopped Detroit's latest slide Sunday with a complete-game win at Pittsburgh.
