He’s looked awesome over the last few weeks.

Nice to see Austin Slater leave the yard in Durham tonight against a LHP.

Career 115 wRC+ bat against LHP.

Tony Blanco Jr. has at least 4 HR this season where you can’t pinpoint where they land. It’s one thing to do it pull-side, but doing it the other way is silly.

The Tigers complete the sweep of the Rays and win 7-2. The Rays are now 36-23 this season and are 2-8 in their last 10

Mason Englert looked good in his return this afternoon:

5 IP I 4 H I 1 ER I 0 BB I 3 K

He collected 3 whiffs each on his Changeup, Curveball, and 4-Seam while getting plenty of chase on the offerings. 87.0 MPH Avg EV on the 15 batted balls and he zoned his Sinker well.

He’s 24th overall in fWAR. That’s just ahead of Jeremy Peña, Shea Langeliers, and Ketel Marte.

.243/.332/.510
130 wRC+
