I can just imagine, after yesterday’s game, the Tigers’ clubhouse crew waiting until the team’s bats had stopped smoking to put them away before coming home for this weekend’s four-game series against the Orioles.
“Is the lumber still smouldering over there?”
“Yeah, give it a few more minutes before you pack ‘em up.”
Tonight’s game, the first in a four-game weekend set at home against the Orioles, saw the Tigers continue their winning ways, with a 6-2 victory. Casey Mize worked seven excellent innings, and Miguel Cabrera hit a pair of home runs on his march to number 500.
