it's just been one of those weeks so far the Tigers and Angels getting used to these weather delays but they will get underway here at 8:30 and look I mean if tonight is going to end up the way last night did it'll prove to be worth the wait for the Tigers is the opener Mason engard nice chat with Mason yesterday Gibby the he hasn't really tasted that success at the major league level but the numbers in the minor leagues keep getting better and better he's feeling really really good about his mix of pitches right now just love to see him get off to a good start in his return to the Tigers and Taylor Ward ready to lead it off I think we've had more rain delays these last two days at least in terms of the duration of the delay this one roped out to short takes a wicked hop on Trey Sweeney he will glove it on to First and gets Ward for the first out of the inning nice play by Trey that ball sort of ate him up a little it did and that ball was hit hard you know that's his slider he kind of left it up in the zone one the keys for Mason attacking these hitters is to not leave his off speed stuff up he's got a really good change up he'll mix in the slider here's Zach Netto one for 4 day yesterday there's a really nice change up man that thing Dove see watch he's going to get the turn he's going to hide that ball he's got good iron speed two outs and nobody on for Nolan shaunell shaunell takes ball four as he's on base the first base runner of the game on a two- out walk that was good bad for sha while it's 58th walk of the Season yeah it's been such a tough goal for the Angels offensively and it hasn't helped that randone has not provided much offense while he has been healthy this year hitting just 229 without a home run runner going and randone takes ball two as shawell steals second without a throw he had a huge jump fifth stolen base it's the flash yes look at this jump now shaunell in scoring position for randone lift it in the air to center field going back on the ball Matt verling plenty of room out there Matt's got it and the side has retired is the Angel strander runner in scoring position for that first W on the road season for Griffin canning really really good those six shot Innings coming out of the bullpen in Toronto my go-to's caning to build off that performance up in Toronto is be aggressive throughout that means the tackle with this fast ball was very good about 74% strike rate now this Tigers ball Club has been whipping the baseball of late and their two best hitters are the first two in their order Riley green and Carrie Carpenter Line Drive over the glove leaping Drury at second lead off single here's Carrie carpenter carpenter reaches out hits one toward Right Center Adell got a good jump to get there and that's the first out for canning here's Matt verling had a one for 3D yesterday and drove it a run heit safely in six straight ball game and this is Cho the short could be two second for one relay to First and it is a double play and that'll end the inning so canning pitches a scoreless first inning jce St off yesterday is hit safely in back-to-back ball games one ball two strikes and young swings and misses Al little hoppy ends up going down and maybe it was a foul ball and it hit ohpp I think that's what happened young did get a piece of it and then ohpp got a big piece of it guessing this will be a violent looking replay here and I was right yes and the crowd just saw it as well on the video board here and they got the full gist of it yeah well it's all fun and games when it's not you always say everyone always just smiling have a joke about it like hello say jayon has been working some good at bats since coming up from Triple A Toledo he's nine for his first 36 of the plate he's walked five times now Tolson is the batter he was the number one draft pick in 2020 and had what seemed like a breakout year last year it's gone the complete opposite way this season for torlon oh watch it Fly Gone number seven for tlon and the tigers jump on top two nothing listen to this crowd he's hit two home runs since coming back but they were both on the road and the this is the first time the home crowd has let ton know just how much they love having that swing 93 mph center cut Spence Spencer tlon has not been hitting the fast ball is good as the off speed pitch and that is a great sign he's got two three hits well it has certainly been a rough year for Kent toaya his ER is the highest in the major leagues for anyone who has pitched at least 90 Innings this year getting a two-year contract to come to Detroit and he's fallen out of the rotation although he still pitches every fifth day in this bulk roll splitter gets it nice job to get a dangerous hitter's been hot again watch his arm speed he really throws it out there it's just a real loose iron the ball look just comes out see here is shaunell who walked his first time against the opener Mason angard who ended up working two scoreless innings swinging right back line to the mound MAA will head to First not in time they should throw to second they're going to get a double play out of this how about that a liner back to ma he spun him through to Tolson at first kavadas was already at third base Ward got back to First and they just get the out of second that's what we're seeing with this Tigers offense a lot the team at that's leaving the situation for the guy behind you just in a better situation than the one that you found that's the whole goal Carpenter ropes one in right field to base hit scoring from third is Rogers make it three nothing Tigers here in the third there's that 3-2 change up Carri does a good job just keeping his weight back throwing his hands at it and getting plenty of Barrel on it you know he hit a Hardline drive to right field last bat that one trying to get away from him but you see Carrie gets down in a really ass athletic stance and literally just uses his hands to flick the barrel out to it to get a good piece of it that's why Carrie will always hit went Johnny quo on him walked him anyway Ball Four had the hesitation on this delivery Barry Enright will come to the bound canning's thrown 75 pitches already in three and two3 innings and he'll have to deal with green while the bases are loaded I don't think I've ever seen canning have that hesitation on allowed to do that with with men on base and that is a called third strike a slider there was no doubt that pitch was definitely a strike and the inning is over so a big strike out for canning and they fail to score leaving the bases loaded yeah this is again another game for the Angels where offensively they just don't look like they're in sync bouncing ball off the bat of OHA it's a long throw for Sweeney and it's off the glove of torlon as oh stationed at first B Porter got hit by the ball and this should be an error on the short stop Sweeny had all the time in the world just short hops torlon over at first base so the inning remains alive moniac will be the next batter there's a Fly ball to right field hit pretty well by moniac Carpenter back out at the wall it is long gone halfway up the bleachers and right Mickey moniac a two-run homer makes it a one-run game boy two hit game again Mickey he's so fine two-run home run just like that back in the game listen to these loyal tiger fans sitting at a long rain delay again tonight on their feet this young Tigers team starting to capture the imagination of tigers fans all around the state of Michigan swing in a Miss he got him with a slider tigers have won six straight 13 of 16 and they're starting to play some meaningful games heading toward the month of September
