Only now, we’re playing against him.
Happy Wednesday everyone! The Tigers will continue their three-game series against the Pirates tonight (weather permitting), and while it doesn’t look like we’re going to see an ace-off between Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes on this trip (alas!) we’re still in for some very exciting pitching over the next two days.
In today’s news we play catch-up with Don Kelly, look at some injury updates, and see who made MLB TV viewing history.
Let’s get into it!
Detroit Tigers News:
- A little piece from last night’s broadcast about AJ Hinch and Don Kelly.

Javier Baez reaches 10 years of MLB service time today. His locker was decorated with balloons, the clubhouse cafeteria is serving Puerto Rican food and the team area is festooned with Puerto Rican flags.

- Very cool.
Arkansas right-hander Gage Wood just threw the first no-hitter in the College World Series since 1960. Wood is projected to be a first-round pick in July’s draft. Was an eighth-inning HBP away from a perfect game with 19 strikeouts. pic.twitter.com/n5yXzFyp3n
