Cam Schlittler looked great once again, pitching eight innings, and a rally in the seventh on the backs of Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge propelled them to victory. Although the schedule was light around the American League, there were still a couple of games to keep tabs on, so let’s see how it played out. **Detroit Tigers (14-12) 5, Milwaukee Brewers (13-11) 4** In a back-and-forth affair, the Tigers took home a dramatic win on Thursday. In their second consecutive win over the Brewers, Detroit coasted on a solid effort in the beginning, before timely hitting late in the game sealed things. They jumped out to an early lead too, as in the first inning belted a two-run shot to put his guys ahead with just his second long ball of the season. From there, outside of an RBI double for , it was mostly smooth sailing for Skubal and the Tigers. Through the lefty’s first six innings of work, he had allowed just one earned run. In the seventh, however, the two-time Cy Young winner began to run into some trouble. After a pair of singles opened that inning for Milwaukee, a double tied things up at three, just before ’s knock suddenly put them up 4-3. After spending nearly the entire game in the driver’s seat, the Tigers were now in need of a comeback. Of all people, it was pinch-hitter that came through in the clutch to tie things up once again. With the game knotted up at four, these Central teams headed into the ninth with plenty of potential for drama. Trouble lurked as the Brewers had a couple of runners on with one out, but Detroit’s (more like rally-hurter, huh?) induced a clutch inning-ending double play to silence the threat. With a chance to win it the easy way in the ninth, the Tigers cashed in early, as with one out, Spencer Torkelson sent the Motor City fans home happy with a line-drive walk-off homer into the left field seats. ** (13-12) 6, (14-11) 1** The Rangers coasted to an easy win on Thursday, riding on some early offense and a vintage effort on the mound. The veteran righty and two-time Cy Young Award winner looked sharp for Texas in his fifth start of the season. Across 5.2 innings of work against the Pirates, deGrom allowed just one run on five hits and a walk, racking up an impressive 10 strikeouts along the way. After a pair of scoreless innings on both sides, the Rangers broke through in the third inning in rather interesting fashion. With on base after a single, circled the bases the old-fashioned way, benefitting from a funky kick in the outfield for an instide-the-park home run. The exhilarating lap around the bags had them up 2-0, and a RBI made it three in the next inning. Later in the fourth, broke this one wide open with a towering three-run blast down the right field line to put his Rangers ahead 6-0.
