I forget exactly what the DH rule is for two way players.  But scanning through box scores, it looks like Ohtani has remained as DH even when pulled early as a SP.  I guess I also didn’t realize that he hasn’t not played OF at all this season.  Strictly P and/or DH.

3 year anniversary of the Tigers pulling off one of the biggest single game upsets in history. It wouldn't be of the magnitude of that one but considering they are facing Ohtani they are going to need a little bit of magic again today.

[Hongbit]

2 horrible balls called on pitches fully in the zone against Ohtani.

[RandyMarsh]

Riley with the 1st pitch BOMB off of Ohtani, did not see that one coming!

In my best Rod Allen…. oh my goodness, Riley Greene, did you?

[casimir]

448 feet?  That’s past the tomato plants in Tiger Stadium.

Baez with a 4 pitch walk?  Somebody, check the earth’s axis.

[RandyMarsh]

Honestly all Baez needs to do is commit to not swinging in the AB and he'd probably walk alot more since the pitchers rarely throw him 3 balls in the strike zone in any given at bat. Like just leave the bat on your shoulder for 2 or 3 at bats a week and you'd probably see his walk and OBP totals gets a bump.

Eddie looking like the guy who got the big contract so far...

Tigers *REALLY* threaten, but do not score...

[casimir]

Riley Greene with another sprawling diving catch in CF, this one to save a run and end the inning.  Ho hum.

[RandyMarsh]

Wonder if it's a slow gun today, E-Rod while getting good results appears to only be throwing 90-92mph and Ohtani is "only" topping out at 96 according to the TV gun when normally he's at like 99.  

[RandyMarsh]

Reyes with a 2 run double/triple(not sure if they will charge the RF with a 1 base error) to make it 3-0 Tigers! Meanwhile Shohei is going to question his entire existence for struggling like this against these Tigers. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Victor! Way to capitalize on the walks.

[Jim Cowan]

4 inning KO of Orta is, and then a 2 out rally in the 5th.

Can’t spell victory without Victor.

[casimir]

Hat tip to Ward on that throw.  I think it was a good risk to tag.  It took a perfect throw to get Greene there.

One of my all-time favorite role players.  I loved the Wockenfuss-Summers platoon.   

[casimir]

Wockenfuss has a quality signature on that picture.

Good games for Riley and Eddie... That's about as good as we can ask
