The Tigers completed a mini two game sweep of the Cubs by pounding their pitching staff into a conniption for the second straight night. There was a lot to like on offense, not the least which was Nick Castellanos’ two home runs, his second a grand slam.
I really like Tyler Collins. He had a double in the eighth inning that drove in a run but what really impressed me was his ability to bunt runners to second and third in seventh. He seems like he is a good guy to have off the bench. I remember his pinch hit home run in Cincinnati a few months ago. He seems like he can do things at the plate that not lot of other guys on this team can do. He may not be an everyday player but like I said, a good guy to call upon when needed. (I didn’t like the fly ball that fell between him an Gose in the eighth but I’ll give him a Mulligan for getting that bunt down.)
Fifteen runs today. Ten runs yesterday but no amount of runs makes me feel comfortable.
How about Miggy flashin’ leather at first?
It looks like Daniel Norris is done for the season with an oblique strain.
Just when I start bragging about Kinsler he makes two bone head plays at second. I thought, for sure, the second one was going to blow up.
Two in a row. A win tomorrow makes a winning streak.
Flashin' Leather 
As much fun as this was…we will do well to remember the enemy scored 8 runs….
As we know by now, the Tigers will bludgeon weak pitching.. The Cubs appear to posses a bullpen on par with the Tigers.. With that said, they did hit Lester pretty hard, so job well done.. Strange to see the Cubs with a better record than the Tigers.. If you play position-by-position, other than a couple spots, the Tigers have the superior player… Except starting pitching.
Its’s hard to imagine any team’s pitching worse than the Tigers’.
