Gleyber Torres homered on the first pitch, then again in the seventh inning, part of a four-homer game for the Tigers.

The Cincinnati Reds are in the middle of the standings in their division, making them a team with many options available at the deadline.

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.

Following a slow beginning, Jack Flaherty has regained the form that made the Detroit Tigers want to re-sign him in free agency.

A tight game turned into a blowout loss for the Cincinnati Reds in a hurry on Friday night against the Detroit Tigers.

The Savannah Bananas are playing at Great American Ball Park on Friday night. Fav-favorite Sean Casey got an at-bat and drew a walk in only a way he could. The ball went to the backstop and Casey rounded first pretending he was going to try for second before retreating back to first.
