The Miller Park American Family Field dome was open, the weather was pleasant, and the Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers were sufficiently recovered from their respective Memorial Day barbecue cookouts.
Well, the batters had recovered, but the pitchers must have still been a little woozy from some bad potato salad, as this game turned out to be a walk- and homer-filled affair with the Tigers winning 10-7.
The starting pitcher matchup, such as it was, featured Eric Lauer for Milwaukee and Matthew Boyd for Detroit. This was Lauer’s fourth start of the year, along with two relief appearances, and his outings have been pretty mixed.
