Detroit Tigers (8-19) @ Las Vegas Aces (22-6)

The Tigers did a pretty good job in the draft, getting a couple of high-upside MLB ready players in Wil Myers and Didi Gregorius. They will join Brandon Belt, Mike Napoli and Kevin Youkilis in what should be a strong offense. The rotation also looks promising with Kris Medlen, A.J.Griffin, Neftali Feliz and Jonathon Niese. The bullpen is a cause for concern with Fernando Rodney as the closer and guys like Steve Delabar, Sean Doolittle and Scott Elbert rounding out the unit. Their payroll of 76.484 million ranks 22nd in the league. As mentioned before, the rotation looks to be in good shape with some talented young arms, but there is a lot more help on the way. Kevin Gausman, James Paxton and Kyle Crick all figure to be part of the rotation in a couple of years. The experts seem to like the Tigers’ chances, as they are predicting them to win 89 games and win the AL Central. The start to the season has been disappointing however, with the Tigers only managing 8 wins so far.

Game 29: vs. Detroit Tigers
Cole Hamels showed up today. The lefty pitched 7 innings of 1-run ball. He gave up 6 hits, walked 1 and struck out 3. Affeldt and Grilli tossed 2 scoreless innings in relief. On offense we got a nice contribution from Alejandro De Aza, as our center fielder went 2-3 with a double, RBI, 2 runs scored and a walk. Chris Davis was also 2-3 with a walk, 3 RBI, a run scored and a home run (#12).
LV 5 – DET 1 (win 23-6)

Game 30: vs. Detroit Tigers
Our guys once again showed off their muscles, hitting 4 home runs in the game. Alejandro De Aza hit his first on the season, while Gerardo Parra hit his second in a 2-4 performance that also saw him hit a double and score 2 runs. The other 2 home runs came off the bat of Chris Davis, who hit his 13rd and 14th. He also drove in 3. The offense backed Patrick Corbin’s 8.0-9-3-3-0-6 outing and Craig Kimbrel notched another save (#7).
LV 5 – DET 3 (win 24-6)

Game 32: vs. Detroit Tigers
Our offense couldn’t get anything going tonight, as Kris Medlen was on top of his game. The Tigers’ ace finished the game 8.0-2-1-1-1-12 to get his second win of the season. Our only run of the game came on a Jack Hannahan home run. Joe Kelly battled hard for most of the night, but he finished with a statline of 5.2-10-5-5-2-3. The loss ends our 13-game winning streak.
LV 1 – DET 5 (loss 24-7)

Game 33: vs. Detroit Tigers
Jonathon Niese (8.0-5-3-3-3-6) and Max Scherzer (6.2-5-2-2-0-9) were locked in a nice battle for most of the night. Neither would however figure into the decision, as the game would be tied at 3 after 9 innings. The Tigers tied the game up in the 9th, as Craig Kimbrel blew his first save of the season. 2 innings later Chris Davis would score the winning run on a Brandon Phillips triple. Davis went 1-2 with a double, RBI, 2 runs scored and 3 walks.
LV 4 – DET 3 (win 25-7)

Weekly Awards:

Aramis Ramirez of the Washington Nationals was named National League Player of the Week. The 34-year-old hit .536 (15-28) with 2 home runs, 7 RBIs and 7 runs scored.

Power Rankings:
Our score of 149.6 leads the league.
