Tigers Make Move on Relief Pitcher After Rough Outing vs. Reds originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers dropped their second game in three tries against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday by a score of 8-4, their second loss in a row to manager Terry Francona's team.

Cincinnati Reds LHP Wade Miley pitched five strong innings in the Reds' series-clinching win over the MLB-best Detroit Tigers Sunday.

Will Vest said a feeling in his pinky was bothering him but that he had "no idea" what the extent of the injury was.

When the Cincinnati Reds opened a three-game series with a loss to the Detroit Tigers, it was more than a forgone conclusion that the Tigers would win the at least one of the next two and take the series.

Led by a standout day and overall series from star shortstop Elly De La Cruz — going 7-of-14, three home runs, six RBI and seven runs — the Reds not only brought offensive flair, but took advantage of a flurry of mistakes from the Tigers.

The Reds did tack on three too-little, too-late runs in the ninth when De La Cruz doubled home Santiago Espinal to make it 11-3, then Tyler Stephenson doubled in two more runs to make it 11-5. De La Cruz was 3-for-4, raising his average to .267.

The Detroit Tigers outfielder came up big in Friday’s 11-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Greene was 2 for 5 with a home run and 4 RBI’s as the Tigers cruised to their 46th win of the season.
