Shortstop typically demands grace a man with Kreidler’s frame doesn’t easily deliver. But this is not one of those factory-stamped athletes, this 23-year-old, right-handed hitter

Heavy rains and flooding trapped many cars and trucks along I-94 East and Westbound near Trumbull in Detroit. The rains also caused flooding in many Detroit and Grosse Pointe homes with some having up to 3 feet of water in their basements. Driving up and down some of the neighborhoods, people were throwing away water-damaged
A day after the Tigers split a doubleheader with the Houston Astros, the finale of the four-game series was played on a breezy, muggy Sunday in Detroit, as some June Sundays can be around Michigan. The Tigers earned a split of the series as a whole as well, as a safety squeeze by Robbie Grossman
DETROIT — As with any rookie, Tarik Skubal’s first season has been one of small tweaks, big triumphs, lessons learned and everything in between.
