Give me the Rangers with the better pitcher on the mound. Right-hander Sam Dyson pitched the eighth and ninth but had to be relieved by right-hander Shawn Tolleson after allowing a pair of two-out infield singles.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus seconded those statements.
Detroit rookie left-hander Boyd allowed three runs in six innings, giving up five hits while walking two and striking out three. He and Banister both returned with one of Michigans distinctive helmets, which several players wore while running pass routes in the outfield before Sundays game.
The Tigers’ next scheduled game at Comerica Park is Tuesday night. Part of the bat flew into the stands – ironically in the same section – and a guy got injured. “It’s just something that needs to be looked at, and hopefully it doesn’t get to the point where something really serious happens before there’s an adjustment made”. Rangers catcher Chris Gimenez tied the score, 1-1, in the third when he hit his third home run onto the roof of the Texas bullpen in left center.
The Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the second with some help from the Tigers’ defense.
“If we get caught up in the ladder to the promised land, we miss what our objective is”.
The biggest proponent of this was Friday’s starter Justin Verlander, who took to Twitter to make his case and even appeared on Good Morning America on Sunday morning to discuss the issue. “For whatever reason, sometimes a double play and sometimes a strikeout”. Nick Castellanos singled with two out, but Venable threw Cabrera out at the plate. “I like facing left-handers”, Napoli said. Once hit, a ball picks up speed, and the baseball that hit the fan was a low line drive screamer.
After Beltre was tossed, Banister came out and argued but wasn’t immediately tossed.
Rangers: Venable’s RBI double was his first hit for Texas after he was called up to replace OF Josh Hamilton (knee). Perez had elbow surgery a year ago.
“On Monday, ballpark operations, along with a local contractor, and a City of Detroit inspector, assessed damage to an outer portion of a concrete step in the upper deck”, read the statement, released by Ron Colangelo, vice president of communications for the Tigers. He has his four Stanley Cup rings, but as a former minor-league baseball player, winning a baseball title has always been the ultimate dream.
I still do believe that Verlander is the ace of the battered and bruised starting rotation of a Tigers team that has crashed this season. This time, though, Trammell and Kinsler both wore No. 3. Left-hander Randy Wolf (0-1), just purchased by Detroit from the Toronto organization on Thursday, made his first start in the majors since June 14, 2014 for Miami.

“It was an awesome feeling out there”, Knudson said.
