The Detroit Tigers’ 4-2 victory Sunday over the … Guardians … (sorry, still getting used to typing that out) was notable for a few reasons.
First of all, no Tigers were harmed in the making of it — a claim that has been all too rare this season. Just last week, Will Vest tested positive for COVID-19, Andrew Chafin was bitten by a possum and Austin Meadows went on the IL with vertigo. (OK, one of those is fictional. But can you guess which one?)
Second, the Tigers scored four runs — also a rare claim, as it was just the 10th time they’ve gotten past three this season.
