I feared it was going to be the worst smackdown in LA since Chris Rock’s face got in the way of Will Smith’s hand a few weeks ago. Incredibly, the Tigers took a game off the Dodgers on a night when Clayton Kershaw was fantastic, turned in a quality start and broke Don Sutton’s franchise strikeout record. The Tigers lost the series, but they only dropped the other two games by scores of 5-1 and 6-3, and they brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth inning in the finale. “Nice to kind of escape one, I guess, if you will,” Walker Buehler, the ace on one of baseball’s best teams, admitted to reporters after Sunday’s game. I know a lot of people hate the idea of moral victories. If you think all that matters in sports is the final result, and not what you learned along the way, then you’re probably the kind of golfer who skulls a 7-iron, watches it bounce to 3 feet of the cup and then thinks you hit a good shot. “We didn’t play well enough to win,” Hinch told reporters after the Tigers got 10 hits Sunday. “But offensively, at least we’re inching closer.”Īustin Meadows, Tucker Barnhart, Javier Baez and Harold Castro have been wonderful at the plate, though Akil Baddoo, Jonathan Schoop and Eric Haase need to improve significantly. The bullpen has been the best in baseball.
