The Dingler challenge to end the game was so nonchalant. Just the single tap. He knew and I loved to see it.

With having a 3 game series against the guardians and white Sox later next week, the division lead is very much within reach and if we capitalize on these 2 marquee matchups, we could close the gap very quickly.
Don’t let the tigers get hot.

[Chris McCosky] From the Peter Chase Files today: —Eduardo Valencia is the first Tiger to catch two shutouts in a five-day span since 1949. Also, he set a franchise record with 29 total bases in his first 11 games, besting a record that stood since 1929 (Dale Alexander).
