Naquin with a single up the middle. He stays hot. Team is going to have a decision to make when CarGo comes up. Naquin and Bauers both started slow but both are now hitting. Well, Bauers hit a homer any way. Still only .182 coming into today. Have to think Naquin has edge, but they gave up Yandy for Bauers.

Tigers get out with no more damage.

Bieber allows a guy to get on in 2nd but works out no sweat. Still 1-0 good guys thru 2

Martin with a BOMB!

I was familiar with him from his time in Detroit and happy when we got him. I knew he was a good ball player. But he has more power than I knew.

Losing him really hurt us last year for playoffs. He was a good pick up.

2-0 good guys!

Announcer just said Bauers reached on a broken bat weak single in 1st.

I really think Naquin should get 3rd OF spot when CarGo comes up soon, but something tells me the team is going to want to give Bauers a long look. Even though he's doing little to deserve it. Even today, he is batting 3rd and Naquin 6th, even though Naquin is swinging a far better bat.

Santana with a liner to left center for another hit.

Remember when he used to be terrible the first month of the season? This dude is hot.

Oh %$#!@

Hanley lines one deep to left field but Peterson lays out and goes full Clark Kent to rob him on the warning track. Hell of a catch, and got a face full of warning track dirt for his trouble. Serves you right, you $@) @! @ &!)(#

Easy 1-2-3 inning in the 3rd for Bieber.

Still 2-0 good guys!

Plawecki singles. Why do I, every time I say his name, want to say "Plawecki wanna dwink of wattuh?" I don't know, but I'm sure I'm weird.

Hey, Miller goes the opposite way for a nice line drive single. Have something brewing now!

Oh, ^%$#, the nub is coming up to bat. Here comes a DP.

Oh my gosh. This moron pitcher walked Stamets! In the words of Bugs Bunny, "What a Maroon!".

Bases loaded for Martin.

Shot through the hole into RF, single!

Plawecki scores!

Miller ... thrown out by 10 feet at plate. My goodness, why send him with 1 away?

Good time for Jose to bust out. Runners on corners, 2 out.

Martin likes hitting in his former home park. Another homer and then an rbi single. 3-0 us.
8 hits in 2 2/3. The formerly fearsome Jose Ramirez with a chance to really break it open, bats with 2 on and 2 out in the 4th.

Martin steals 2nd. Anything this guy doesn't do? I think he cleaned the toilets before the game.

Jose with a drive ... ahh, caught on warning track.

Man, we are coming so close to busting this open. But for now, 3-0 good guys.

By the way, that should have been a sac fly RBI for Jose. Still don't know why they sent Miller. It was a bad throw and he was still out by a mile. Terrible.

After leaving the two men on, Ramirez is now hitless over his past 3 games. He has had the following mini streaks this year:

2 games 0-8
2 games 3-7 a walk a double
3 games 0-7 a walk
2 games 3-9 a double
3 games 0-11 but at least he made a solid out

HB - don't you think they might send down Greg Allen? Even if not I think they find a way to keep both Naquin and Bauers. Bauers does play 1B too.

Perhaps Martin might be a really nice #2 hitter once Lindor comes back?
