Score runs!

Urshela right hamstring tightness. If he goes to the DL, Jace Jung anyone? Gipson-Long could go to the 60 day IL.

[chasfh]

Way to keep it alive, Parker.

[kdog]

McKinstry and the catchers are not competitive at the plate.

[wolverinefan]

Perez!

[mtutiger]

Parker Meadows made that happen.... to his credit, when he gets on base, he's a handful!

[Tigermojo]

Woohoo makes up for the error!

[Dtrain72]

This Perez kid might be kinda good

[chasfh]

Wenceel making the screw job on the overthrow to first academic!

Some two-out-in-the-ninth magic for the boys tonight!

[chasfh]

Setting aside the overthrow, Theelbar really dealt tonight. We were lucky to get to him. 

[chasfh]

Tork comes up big on the 3U

[Tigermojo]

[chasfh]

What a baseball-y play by Baez to keep Castro at second!

[Dtrain72]

Ha, that rope a dope by Javy...dammit, he's making me like him

[lordstanley]

Tigers win! 3 games behind the Indians, 4 games ahead of the Twins.

[mtutiger]

One takeaway from tonight, and maybe it's already in the process of happening, is that they really need to get Parker Meadows going.... he creates action when he's on the basepaths.

Nice team win. How can Hinch sit Perez? The kid gives this offense some spark. Lead him off?

[UCFKNIGHT]

Feeling good about the Tigers win this evening. Great to have our beloved Tigers back in the win column. At this time, I believe the Tigers may play 135 one run games.🤣

Carpenter's at bats reminded me of VMart. Rod used to call him..."A professional hitter." Excellent bat control, just serve the ball over the infield with runners in scoring position.

[Tigeraholic1]

Great grinding win.

And carpenter, a below average outfielder, will solve the problem at first how exactly? Can you show your work on that one please?

Just speculation of course but it wouldn’t hurt to take some reps pre game and try in the future because he does stink in the outfield as Tork does at first. Carpenter had a better arm. So if he proves good it’s one less bad outfielder and one less poor first baseman. 
Isn’t multiple positions the Hinch requirement anyways ?

I don't know what he's going to do with his life after baseball, but a brain with that kind of processing speed needs to find a worthwhile second career.

And as a side note, great job by Dan Dickerson. He kept Craig under control and actually paid attention to the action. No giggling or just plain stupid discussions. I could listen to him and know there's a ball in play.

How about using that brain for pitch recognition? 😆
