The Tigers collected a rare W tonight in their 10-9 win over the Rays.

It’s no secret that the Tigers have had a rough go of it over the past month. They just finished being swept by the White Sox, and the last thing anyone wanted to do after that was face the top team in the AL East. But the Tigers don’t get to make their own schedule, and there was no getting around it. They had Ty Madden on the mound to start the game, up against Griffin Jax for the Rays. The Rays have been inconsistent in the last few weeks, while they won against the Angels (who so recently swept the Tigers), they also got swept in a three-game series against the Orioles, so it’s anyone’s guess which version of the Rays Detroit would see to start the week.

Kevin McGonigle wasted no time getting things underway with a leadoff single, followed by a single from Dillon Dingler. A one-out double from Riley Greene brought both runners in to put the Tigers on the board early.

Yandy Diaz started the home half with a single, but three outs followed to keep the Tigers in the lead.

With two outs in the top of the second, Zach McKinstry singled, but the Tigers weren’t able to convert the baserunner because McKinstry got caught stealing second to end the inning. The Rays went 1-2-3 in the home half.

Things broke wide open for the Tigers in the third. McGonigle got a leadoff walk, then Dingler homered to bring him home. Kerry Carpenter followed that with a home run of his own. Then, for the first time since 2020, the Tigers went back-to-back-to-back as Riley Greene homered as well. At the end of the inning, the Tigers were up 6-0.

In the home half, the Rays lost shortstop Taylor Walls for undisclosed reasons, who was replaced by Oliver Dunn and also went 1-2-3.

The Tigers had their first three-up, three-down inning to start the fourth. Richie Palacios got a one-out walk in the home half, then one out later Junior Caminero hit a home run. Chandler Simpson followed that with a single, and Simpson is a serious steal risk. Simpson did indeed steal second on a wild pitch from Madden, but his helmet came off as he approached the bag and he was hit in the face when it bounced. He came up bleeding, and that was it for him in the game. One angle actually made it look like he lost a tooth. Ryan Vilade replaced him on the basepaths. Victor Mesa Jr walked, and that was it for Madden. Tyler Holton replaced Madden in a direct Ty-for-Ty swap. Holton got the final two outs of the inning.

To get the fifth going, Dingler got his second dinger of the night against new pitcher Trevor Martin. It’s the first time Dingler has ever had a multi-home run game.

With one out, Riley Greene singled, and then Spencer Torkelson got a free bag after getting nailed in the elbow with a pitch. Colt Keith grounded into a force out, eliminating Torkelson, and then Keith stole second, but the Tigers ultimately left two stranded. With one out in the home half, Diaz singled. The Tigers, however, turned a gorgeous double play to end the inning.

Hao-Yu Lee homered to start the sixth, and an overzealous Tigers fan in the stands might have nabbed it a wee bit early, but it was ruled a home run nevertheless. I want to suggest that the Tigers might want to hold onto a few of these home runs, but what the heck, let’s just go for it. Three outs followed the home run. Brenan Hanifee was the new pitcher for the home half, and he gave up a leadoff walk to Palacios. Caminero then made an ABS challenge to get himself a free walk as well. Ryan Vilade came in and homered, and suddenly the Tigers’ lead wasn’t looking as impressive anymore. Hanifee was done, replaced by Drew Sommers. He gave up a one-out walk to Cedric Mullins and collected the second out of the inning, but his command was all over the place and A.J. Hinch pulled him after facing the minimum three batters. With Kyle Finnegan on the mound, the Tigers did manage to get themselves out of the jam with limited damage and their lead intact.

Carpenter got a leadoff single to start the seventh. Greene walked to put two on. Three outs followed though, leaving the runners stranded. Yandy Diaz singled to start the bottom of the seventh. Palacios then grounded into a double play to end the inning.

Cole Sulser was the new Rays pitcher for the eighth. Lee singled, and then advanced to second on a sac bunt from McKinstry. With two outs, Dingler doubled, bringing Lee home and giving the Tigers another insurance run. Carpenter then doubled right down the third base line to score Dingler. A Greene strikeout ended the inning, but the Tigers had widened the gap. Beau Brieske came in for the home half of the inning and gave up a leadoff walk to Caminero. With one out, Mesa Jr. walked as well. Mullins walked to load the bases and that was it for Brieske. Will Vest came in and gave up a double to Nick Fortes, scoring two runs. A Ben Williamson singled scored two more runs, and suddenly that big lead was not looking nearly big enough as the Rays pulled within one. Diaz reached on a fielder’s choice that left both baserunners safe thanks to some ugly fielding from Lee, who was charged with an error for his bobble. A Jonathan Aranda groundout advanced the runners. By some miracle the Tigers made it out of the inning still clinging to the lead.

Garrett Cleavinger was on for the Rays in the ninth. With one out and an ABS challenge overturn for both teams, a pinch-hitting Jahmai Jones walked. The Tigers failed to add onto their lead in the ninth, so they would need their bullpen to keep the Rays from scoring any additional runs. Will Vest would stay in for the ninth and he managed to get the job done, getting the side out in order and holding onto the lead by the skin of their teeth.

Final: Tigers 10, Rays 9

The start of the 2026 season began with a Spring Training that resulted in San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove landing on the injured list with a surgically repaired elbow that wasn’t ready to pitch. Then, after four starts, Nick Pivetta was placed on the injured list with a flexor tendon strain of his right arm. Germán Márquez made six starts and was placed on the injured list with right forearm nerve discomfort. He had been inconsistent, at best, before that move.

Righty Matt Waldron, who had been spectacularly effective in Triple-A, was called up and was unable to put together any consistent success, often being hit hard. He was also placed on the IL. Reclamation project, Walker Buehler, started the season seemingly knowing that his command and control would be of utmost importance because of the diminished velocity after his two elbow surgeries.

Fortunately, Michael King and Randy Vásquez have remained healthy. They have both made all their scheduled starts but neither has been consistent and have had some outings that cause concern. Griffin Canning completed his rehab assignment and joined the rotation but has also had problems with consistency so far.

Considering the situation with the starters, it isn’t a surprise that the president of baseball operations, A.J. Preller signed free agent starter Lucas Giolito to a one-year, $2.8 million guaranteed contract on April 22. Giolito was still available after not signing during the offseason or during spring camp. He ended the 2025 season on the injured list with the Boston Red Sox and hadn’t pitched for them during the playoffs. He missed all of 2024 after undergoing UCL repair but bounced back with the Red Sox. His 10-4 record and 3.41 ERA as the No. 3 starter for Boston motivated him to bypass his $19 million option for 2026 and go on the free agent market.

The reason for his not having a contract before Spring Training isn’t known but it has been discussed that his asking price was too high, given that he ended the 2025 season on the IL with a sore elbow. Whatever the reason, Giolito was available in late April, and at a discount price.

What did the Padres get in Giolito?

In 2025, Giolito featured a 93 mph fastball that he threw 48% of the time. He threw his 86 mph slider 26% of the time, his 81.7 mph changeup 23% of the time and his 76.6 mph curveball 3% of his pitches. During his ramp-up in the minor leagues after signing in April (two games each with Single-A Lake Elsinore and Double-A San Antonio), Giolito totaled 17 innings pitched with a 4.76 ERA.

During the course of a normal spring camp, starters work up from pitching one or two innings to begin and progress up to 60-80 pitches and at least five innings before the end of their progression. With six weeks allowed, most starters are ready to pitch before spring camp is done and back off their pitch count in their last start.

The contract agreed to by the Padres and Giolito guaranteed that he be with the major league team by May 16. That only allowed time for the four starts in the minors. It became apparent in his first start with the Padres, on May 17 versus Seattle, that Giolito was not back to where he left off in 2025.

His fastball velocity is down 3 mph, as is his slider and changeup velocity. He has changed his pitch usage from a fastball-and-slider-dominant mix to a fastball-and-changeup-dominant mix. His curveball remains a show-me pitch at 3%.

Not surprisingly, his walk rate is up and his strikeout rate is down. The batting average against his fastball sits at .313 with a .555 slug. The groundball rate is sitting at 26.3% where he normally sits 35% and above.

Can Lucas Giolito recover his form?

The most optimistic answer is that the lack of a normal Spring Training, and only having four starts to prepare for his season, is responsible for his poor start to 2026. In his three games with the Padres, he has been unable to get past the fifth inning. His last start was 2.2 innings, allowing five hits and four walks for four runs. His command has not improved and seems to have slipped. There have been 11 walks in 12.2 innings with six strikeouts.

With less than a month to prepare and a contract that required his promotion, Giolito didn’t do himself or the Padres any favors. It could be argued that he might have been called up anyway, given the situation with the starting rotation.

The Padres have a significant lack of depth in the organization when it comes to starting pitchers. But with Canning and Giolito both working back from a not-normal spring preparation, the Padres are relying on King, Vásquez, and Buehler to carry the load. That’s a lot to ask considering King is working back after missing the majority of last season and Buehler is trying to reinvent himself as a starter.

The trade rumor mill is churning out leaks about Preller inquiring regarding more bullpen depth. It seems more likely that another starter or two would be a wiser choice if this team wants to try to stay in the running for a playoff spot this season.

Assuming the offense starts improving over the next month, it seems unlikely this group of starters will get the Padres to where they want to go. Hoping Pivetta and Musgrove are back this summer doesn’t seem like a good enough plan.

The Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks continue their long series on Tuesday night, the second of four games between the two teams this week at Chase Field in Phoenix.

Eric Lauer makes his second start for the Dodgers, after allowing one run in six innings last week at Dodger Stadium against the Colorado Rockies. The Diamondbacks punish left-handers, hitting .281/.341/.452 with a 120 wRC+ this season.

Right-hander Michael Soroka starts for Arizona, coming off a May that saw him allow only six total runs in his five starts and 30 1/3 innings, with 24 strikeouts and five walks.

The Mariners open up a series against the Mets. This will be their last homestand before a lengthy road trip that will keep the team away until the middle of the month. It’s also Pride Night at the ballpark, in case you’re wondering about the rainbow graphics.

Lineups:

The Mariners anticipate Mets starter Austin Warren to be an opener for a lefty, hence the righty stack in tonight’s lineup.

News:

Dan Wilson informed the media Cal Raleigh will remain with the team until the end of the homestand, at which point they’ll have a better idea of whether he’ll return to Arizona for more rehab or stick around, perhaps in preparation to make some rehab starts, but emphasizes all of that is very preliminary. Cal did catch a bullpen today, though.

Roster moves

The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 40.

• Reinstated from the 60-day injured list: INF Pavin Smith (left elbow inflammation)
• Optioned to Triple-A Reno following yesterday’s game: INF/OF Tim Tawa
• Transferred to the 60-day injured list: INF Carlos Santana (strained right adductor)

Smith’s season was barely under way – just two games played – before it went into the freezer, due to the elbow issue. The best part of two months later, after five games of rehab – one in the ACL, and then four with the Reno Aces at Triple-A. He went 7-for-17 there with a double, a walk and four strikeouts, but the main thing will be Pavin’s health. The team certainly needs him, whether it’s at 1B or, as tonight, as Arizona’s designated hitter. The D-backs currently rank 29th by OPS from first-base, at a mere .620 (MLB average is more than 150 points higher, at .777) and 27th at the DH (a woeful .580, compared to MLB average .725).

On that basis, the bar for Smith to be an improvement is pretty low. His career figure, now over 450 games, is .736. Which is about three hundred points higher than you’d think if you only looked at social media. Simply producing at that level would significantly boost either position, so let’s hope he can contribute immediately. We will need all the help we can find this series against the Dodgers, who have rebounded from a rough stretch, although they never dropped more than a half-game out of first place in the division. They have won seven of the last eight, to rebuild a 5.5 game lead in the NL West. They’re 14-3 since May 13, with a 2.09 ERA over that time. It won’t be easy.

While we’re here, some other health updates:

Those first two will be the next roster moves to start thinking about. Both are on the 60-day IL, so we will need to figure out how to open up a 40-man roster spot for each of them, in addition to deciding who they will replace on the active roster.

In a battle of the worsts of the Wests, the Los Angeles Angels will host the Colorado Rockies in the first showdown of a three-game series tonight.

The Angels (23-37) are currently in last place in the AL West, eight games back of the AL West-leading Mariners. The Rockies (22-38) are in the NL West basement, 10 games back of the division-leading Dodgers.

Both teams have struggled on the mound this season with the Rockies ranked last in MLB with a 5.39 ERA and the Angels at No. 28 with a 4.72 ERA entering Monday’s action. Colorado has struggled the most with starting pitching as they remain at No. 30 in MLB with a 5.83 ERA, while the Angels are worse out of the bullpen with a 5.08 ERA, which ranks No. 28.

The Rockies have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games as part of a brutal May where they went 8-20. The Rockies lost their first eight series in the month before edging the Giants 2-1 to close out May at Coors Field. The Angels have won six of their last 10, winning three series in a row over the Rangers, Tigers and Rays.

Kyle Freeland (1-6, 8.08 ERA) will be making his 10th start of the season on Monday night at Angel Stadium. May was no kinder to Freeland than it was the rest of the Rockies as he went 0-4 with a 12.46 ERA in five starts. The worst of those was the most recent when the lefty got shelled for eight runs on nine hits with four strikeouts and no walks in four innings in a 15-6 loss to the Dodgers in L.A. on May 26.

There’s reason to believe this trip to L.A. will go better. Freeland is 3-0 with a 2.40 ERA in five career starts against the Angels.

José Soriano (6-4, 2.65 ERA) will get the start for L.A. and has been the team’s best starter this season. In 71 innings, the 27-year-old RHP has registered 78 strikeouts, walking 31 in 12 starts. Soriano has only faced the Rockies once in his four-year MLB career, holding the Rockies scoreless in two innings in a 4-3 Rockies win in 2023 at Coors Field.

The series marks a short road trip for the Rockies, who will return to Coors Field on June 5 for a six-game home stand against the Brewers and Cubs.

Earlier on Monday, the Rockies made a handful of roster moves, calling up RHP reliever TJ Shook from Triple-A Albuquerque while sending struggling reliever Zach Agnos down to the Isotopes. Read more about the roster updates here.

David Ortiz is near-impeachable in these parts and it’s well-earned. He’s plainly the most important player in the history of the Red Sox, and that distinction has spoils, especially for those with whom he danced to get there, both on the field and in the organization. It is for this reason, and several others, including his obvious natural charisma, that he will remain the team’s biggest booster, all on top of being its white knight several times over. So when he recently defended John Henry by way of saying the 76-year-old owner felt “worried” about how the team has turned out, I was like… lmao. Sure. If you say so. I’d probably say the same thing too, even if Henry’s been at the project for six years. But nah. LMAO. Fuck outta here. Love u tho.

Two of the Mets' regulars will be in Triple-A this week as they continue working their way back from injury. 

Francisco Alvarez is officially set to take a huge step in his recovery, as he will kick off a rehab assignment Tuesday, catching four innings behind the plate for Syracuse. 

The young backstop has progressed incredibly following meniscus surgery on May 14. 

Alvarez was able to hit, catch bullpens, block, run the bases an d throw over the past couple of days before the training staff gave him the okay to take the final step in his recovery. 

"It's pretty amazing to see," Carlos Mendozasaid on his progression.

Kodai Senga will then toe the rubber on Wednesday night, making his third appearance during his rehab assignment, and his second up with Syracuse. 

The right-hander struggled a bit during his first one with the team last week, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and a pair of walks across just 3.2 innings. 

He's expected to throw roughly 85 pitches this time around, and Mendoza said that the team will see how he fares and feels afterwards before deciding his next step. 

Senga has been sidelined since late April due to lumbar spine inflammation.

The Colorado Rockies announced today that they have made three moves that affect their pitching staff:

• Selected the contract of right-handed pitcher TJ Shook (#52) from Triple-A Albuquerque.
• Optioned right-handed pitcher Zach Agnos to Triple-A Albuquerque.
• Transferred left-handed pitcher Welinton Herrera to the 60-day injured list.

TJ Shook, 28, was selected by the Rockies in the Minor League Phase of the 2025 Rule 5 Draft from the New York Mets and has spent the 2026 season in Triple-A Albuquerque. In 22 appearances, the right-hander has gone 2-0 with a 2.86 ERA that includes seven saves, eight walks and 29 strikeouts. He leads the PCL in saves and is tied for second in appearances.

Shook was originally signed by the Milwaukee Brewers as an undrafted free agent in 2020 out of the University of South Carolina, and has a 34-23 record with 20 saves and a 4.30 ERA over six minot league seasons (151 appearances).

He will be making his MLB debut.

Meanwhile, Zach Agnos was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. This comes after a terrific start on May 21 that saw him pitch five one-hit, shutout innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Unfortunately, since then, Agnos has allowed 14 earned runs combined over his last two outings (three total innings pitched). Agnos has been up-and-down all season, but given the last two outings, the Rockies decided to send him to ABQ for a reset.

The most unfortunate news, though, is that of rookie left-hander Welinton Herrera (No. 17 PuRP) being transferred to the 60-day IL after being diagnosed with left elbow inflammation on Saturday. He was originally recalled when José Quintana suffered an elbow injury last Sunday, and made three excellent appearances out of the bullpen (2.1 IP) — allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out two (the first of which was a failed ABS challenge by Dodgers’ catcher Daulton Rushing).

This brings Brennan Bernardino back to being the lone lefty in the bullpen.

MILWAUKEE — Hector Borg didn’t last long as the Giants’ third-base coach, and his interim replacement, Ron Wotus, doesn’t seem to be long for the gig, either.

The Giants are in discussions with Gary Pettis to become first-year manager Tony Vitello’s third third base coach in as many months, a major-league source confirmed Monday afternoon.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported the sides were in agreement, though the Giants have not announced anything and Vitello indicated they were still not yet across the finish line.

“Definitely closer,” the manager said before the Giants began a four-game series against the Brewers. “There’s been a couple twists and turns to it.”

Pettis, 68, is a veteran third-base coach, most recently holding the title for 10 years under three different managers with the Astros until his contract wasn’t renewed after 2024. Before that, he coached third and first on Ron Washington’s staff with the Rangers for eight seasons.

An Oakland native, Pettis’ name should be familiar for local sports fans: Dante Pettis, the former 49ers receiver, is one of his four children. He also played 11 big-league seasons as an outfielder and a speed demon for the Angels, Tigers, Rangers and Padres.

The Giants reassigned Borg to a player development role and elevated Wotus before their weekend series against the Rockies that began the road trip.

Borg, in his first season on the major-league staff after two decades in the organization, became the center of attention for the wrong reasons too many times. The tipping point apparently came in the finale of their home stand Wednesday, when he waved Willy Adames into an out at home plate in a 3-2 loss that finished off a sweep at the hands of the Diamondbacks.

Despite an emphasis in spring training, San Francisco has been the worst base-running team in the majors, according to FanGraphs’ all-encompassing metric. 

Entering Monday, the Giants had been thrown out on the bases 18 times, tied for the ninth-most of any team, including seven times at home plate.

Wotus, the longest-tenured coach in the organization, was in the third-base coach’s box for the first time Friday in Denver and remained there to begin their series against the Brewers.

Wotus, officially a senior adviser, has been in the dugout for home games but has not traveled regularly with the team since he retired from coaching full-time after 2021.

SEATTLE — Marcus Semien’s numbers with runners in scoring position haven’t been the issue as much as his production the rest of the time.

Unfortunately for the Mets, the vast majority of the veteran infielder’s at-bats this season have occurred the rest of the time. But over the last week, there’s been an uptick in Semien’s all-around performance.

Over his previous seven games before Monday, Semien owned a .954 OPS. He was an instrumental piece in a team that took a four-game winning streak that ended after Mets’ 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

“There have been lots of ups and downs, but the work never stops,” Semien said before going 1-for-3 with a home run and a strikeout. “That is what I love about this game is we have eight months to basically work as hard as we can to get to the point where we are playing in the game and the ball slows down a little bit and we’re swinging well.”

Even with his recent surge, Semien began play with an anemic .615 OPS for the season. Among his troubling underlying numbers are an average exit velocity of 86.1 mph that ranked in MLB’s ninth percentile. His average bat speed of 68.4 mph also ranked in MLB’s ninth percentile.

Semien went 5-for-10 with a homer in a three-game sweep of the Marlins that completed the homestand. It was a contributing factor to one of the Mets’ best series offensively this season after a dreadful showing the previous weekend in Miami. Over those three games the Mets scored only two runs and got swept.

“I think we learned from the series in Miami what worked against us,” Semien said. “And I think that is what this league is always about is making adjustments when the other team has really good stuff. They threw us a lot of offspeed pitches even though they have high velocity, too, so you have to be able to handle velocity but get it in the right spot … we chased a lot. It’s never going to be perfect but if everybody goes with that approach, that was part of the conversation.”

Semien entered the day with an .830 OPS with runners in scoring position. Included into that equation was a .354 batting average (17-for-48) in such instances.

Manager Carlos Mendoza described Semien as “short to the ball and quick” when he’s successful offensively.

“He’s not missing pitches there, controlling the strike zone a little bit better,” Mendoza said. “We are going to need him. It’s been hard for him, but this guy is going to continue to play and grind out. It was good to see him continue to get results.”

Juan Soto continues to carry the Mets lineup, but the Mets received big contributions from Carson Benge, Mark Vientos and Jared Young, among others, in building the four-game winning streak they took into play.

Semien, who won a Gold Glove at second base last year with Texas, can appreciate the team’s defensive growth — with the addition of rookie A.J. Ewing to join Benge in the outfield — as much as the offensive resurgence.

“A lot of those balls are being hit over my head and you feel like they are going to be doubles or triples and they are running them down,” Semien said “It’s a good feeling and it makes our pitchers feel like they can be confident in the zone. Their talent is through the roof and experience is how they are going to get better every day.”

Well, it’s time for a new series. I’m not sure if that’s the good news or the bad news, but the San Francisco Giants are in cheeseland for a quartet of games against the Milwaukee Brewers.

It begins tonight, with right-hander Landen Roupp on the mound. Through 11 starts, Roupp is 3-3 with a 3.30 ERA, a 2.66 FIP, and 68 strikeouts to 22 walks in 60 innings. He pitched five innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his last start, giving up four runs and two earned runs.

On the other side is lefty Shane Drohan, a rookie. Drohan is an opener for the Brewers, and in 11 games is 2-1 with a 2.63 ERA, a 2.38 FIP, and 28 strikeouts to eight walks in 27.1 innings. He tossed two shutout innings against the St. Louis Cardinals in his last game.

Enjoy the game, everyone! Go Giants!
