Detroit — There haven’t been too many feel-good stories around the Tigers this season, but this was one.
Among several moves Thursday, the Tigers called up relief pitcher John Schreiber from Triple-A Toledo.
Schreiber, 25, is a Rockwood native who graduated from Gibraltar Carlson in 2012, pitched junior college at Dearborn Henry Ford College when no university offered him a scholarship and then ultimately pitched collegiately at the University of Northwestern Ohio before being drafted by the Tigers in the 15th round in 2016.
It was easy to appreciate the pure joy surrounding Schreiber hours before Thursday’s game at Comerica Park.
