I’m pretty sure I’ve never said this before, the Tigers bullpen was smokin balls. It worked out just the way it was scripted. Soria, Chamberlain and Nathan pitched the final 9 outs and got them in order.
Max was pretty good. He had an elevated pitch count but last six complete and got his 18th win.
I was listening to the White Sox broadcast on the way home from the game. For what it’s worth, they think the Tigers will re-sign Victor but Max is leaving. I think most Tigers fans expect Max to leave. I’m not sure about Vmart. I’m usually not in favor of singing older players but this could be an exception.
The Royals won’t go away. They beat the White Sox 6-3.
I still think Scherzer is running on fumes. He can’t keep his pitches in the strike zone, hence the high pitch count.. Good win in spite of that, and the weak hitting. Hope Ricky can finish strong tomorrow. It’s looking like Lester against Shields in the play-in game. That’s why you win the division.
