Doubleheader Split: Tigers 7, Athletics 2; Athletics 5, Tigers 0

After a slightly weird All-Star Break in which the Tigers didn’t play on Sunday, they played the weirdest-scheduled thing I’ve seen in a long time with a lone daytime doubleheader all the way out in Oakland. They’ll have Friday off, then will start a short, two-game, Saturday-Sunday series with the Twins at home.

Did they let a drunk bobolink plan this?! Anyway, here’s an explanation.

We’ve got highlights.

Game 1: Tigers 7, A’s 2

Some timely two-out hitting and a great starting pitching performance let the Tigers coast to an easy victory in the opener.
