Rookie left-hander departs with elbow soreness; lowly Tigers hit four homers
“Hopefully, it’s nothing crazy,” he said. “But we’ll just kind of have to wait and see.”
But the Padres, whose flight from JFK Airport arrived at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport around 3:30 a.m., certainly played like they hadn’t slept much.That is, the team with the fourth-worst record and least-productive, least-powerful offense in the major leagues.The Tigers entered the game with 54 home runs, 20 fewer than any other team, and hit a season-high four. They were averaging an MLB-low 3.
“It’s a play that’s got to be made,” Hosmer said. “Especially after scoring the run there, getting some momentum. Sean looked great the first inning and then just sets a bad tone and kind of makes him work a little bit harder.” Javy Bàez’s fly ball to center field tied the game, and Robbie Grossman popped out. But Manaea walked Miguel Cabrera to re-load the bases and then sent a 1-0 sinker to the outer third of the plate that Eric Haase hit the other way and just over the wall in right field. The ball bounced off the railing above the wall and back into play, and it was initially ruled in play. The Tigers challenged the call, and a replay confirmed Manaea had yielded the first grand slam of his career.
Gore relieved Manaea with one out and two on and allowed one of the runners to score before finishing the fourth inning. He said he felt fine in that frame.They could have had more in the fifth if not for a mental gaffe on the bases. Of course, it also could have been less if not for the Tigers being sort of hapless.
“Aggressive, yes,” Melvin said. “We’re down in the game at that time. We can’t make base running mistakes. But, you know, there was a point in time when it looked like he could potentially get second base.”
