Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila received a multi-year contract extension on Friday. Here's what he said about it: Gregory Levinsky, Detroit Free Press
The Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox played three hours and 22 minutes of baseball on Friday night, resulting in a 9-6 loss for the Tigers.
They also sat around for another two hours waiting out bad weather, once again ruining their upcoming pitching plans. Especially painful was the sixth inning — nearly 45 minutes, from restart to finish
But nothing during those five-plus hours mattered as much as the news conference held before the game, inside the dining room in the back of the Comerica Park press box.
