The Tigers enjoyed a fine Tuesday for baseball up against the struggling Rockies. A matchup they must be enjoying with the third Wild Card spot still within (unlikely) reach. The Tigers turned to Keider Montero, while the Rockies called on Bradley Blalock.
The Rockies got things going with a 1-2-3 first. Parker Meadows then wasted no time extending his legend by starting the home half with a home run. Riley Greene followed with a single, then Kerry Carpenter walked, but the Tigers would have to settle for the one run. For now.
In the second, Ryan McMahon started things off with a single, but three outs, including a double play, eliminated the threat.
