Dunedin, Fla. — How a team with the worst pitching in the Florida State League, and the next-to-worst hitting, manages a 12-game June-July winning streak, including a 13-victories-in-14-games run, is a mystery for baseball’s statistics-and-probabilities crowd to ponder. Andrew Graham might also be worth analyzing — and perhaps identifying as something of a miracle worker.

The Padres spent the previous night bludgeoning them, pounding away at a bullpen that collapsed in an 11-run defeat. Now, they were sending Alex Faedo to the mound.
You can cut that MLB trade-deadline tension with a chainsaw, maybe, with the Tigers factoring in much of the suspense and potential roster drama. By the time formal shopping ceases July 31, Eduardo Rodriguez and/or Michael Lorenzen have a shot at joining playoff teams — valid playoff clubs, and not those (hello, American League Central
Detroit — After watching the Padres’ hitters launch five home runs and score 19 runs in the two previous games, Alex Faedo made a business decision. Just called back up from Triple-A Toledo to make the spot start Sunday, Faedo seemed steadfastly opposed to the center of the strike zone. He was on a mission
Alex Faedo wasn’t quite at his best, but he kept the San Diego Padres off balance enough to avoid their power as the pitching staff put together a complete performance on Sunday. The offense didn’t exactly get loose, but a pair of solo shots held up for a winning margin as they took the third

Detroit — The San Diego Padres slugged the play out of relevance Saturday night. But long before Luis Campusano’s 401-foot blast landed in the left-field seats to cap their 14-3 win, Jake Rogers very quietly saved a run with a play that’s been the subject of much debate within the industry in recent weeks.

DETROIT — Curtis Granderson’s playing career in Detroit was spent making highlight-reel-worthy robberies in the outfield and spraying triples all over Comerica Park. His first post-retirement trip to the city involved wondering how many more homers he’d have if he’d had the opportunity to play here after the fences were moved in. Granderson — a
Curtis Granderson made his return to Detroit this weekend, and for a very special reason.
