Milwaukee — The win for the Tigers on get-away day Wednesday was that shortstop Javier Báez isn’t likely to need time on the injured list.
“No, I’m good,” he said after the Tigers were beaten in the series finale by the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-2. “Maybe I will need one day, but I should be good.”
Báez, who came into the game riding a 10-game hitting streak, hitting a robust .378 in that stretch, got drilled in his left hand by a 93-mph fastball from Brewers’ starter Freddy Peralta in the first inning. He was in considerable pain.
