The finale of a three-game weekend series in San Francisco featured a first major-league home run, a pair of rundowns in the same inning, and a 5-4 Tigers victory on Sunday afternoon. A pair of late innings loses hurt, and yet the Tigers still come away with a .500 road trip despite the lengthy injured list.
Summitting the tiny hill for the visitors today was Keider Montero. It’s possible that he and the rest of the Tigers’ rotation could comfortably fit in a phone booth. (Remember phone booths?) His previous outing was a solid six-inning sojourn in Seattle, surrendering four hits, a lone run, and striking out eight.
