MLB
M.J. Melendez’ three run homer off Shelby Miller with two outs In the top of the ninth lifted the Royals to a 3-2 victory over the Tigers yesterday. Detroit had built an early lead, with a second-inning RBI single from Gio Urshela, and a fifth-inning sacrifice fly by Matt Vierling. On a bullpen day, four Detroit relievers held Kansas City batters to just five hits over eight innings, including three shutout frames by Brant Hurter in his major league debut.
The Tigers head west today, and open a series at Seattle tomorrow night. Keider Montero will start against Luis Castillo. Coverage will begin at 9:15 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Brewers’ late comeback fell short in a 4-3 loss to the Nationals yesterday. Starter Tobias Myers gave up just one run over five innings, but Washington scored three times in the sixth, when James Wood laced a bases-loaded triple off Hoby Milner. The Crew plated three in the eighth, with help from a two-run Gary Sánchez homer, but couldn’t close the gap.
