The electric 22-year-old had just tripled off the left-field wall, and the Detroit Tigers felt the momentum. But the next three batters couldn’t drive him home. Those costly mistakes represent a trend,
It’s tough to imagine Carlos Correa with any team but the Houston Astros, but the 2017 World Series champion is up for free agency after this season and could be a valuable trade chip now. Trading a player of Correa’s caliber in the middle of the season won’t be popular among Astros fans, but given…

Spencer “Big Red” Turnbull and Brad “The Georgia Peach” Keller, two extreme-groundball pitchers, started today, so the worms at Comerica Park were on high alert the whole afternoon. Keller’s season so far
DETROIT — The sight of Jarrod Dyson dashing home from third with Monday’s go-ahead run on Whit Merrifield’s fifth-inning sacrifice fly was a familiar one. The Royals’ speedster haunted the Tigers for years during his previous stint in Kansas City, and he has enough energy left in his 36-year-old legs to keep it up. The
