Hinch sparked a quick conversation with center fielder Riley Greene. “Do you know what the theme of the day is?” Hinch said. “What?” Greene inquired. “Finding a good pitch,” Hinch said.

DETROIT — The massive shrubs beyond center field make the vast expanse of Comerica Park’s outfield all the more imposing, but there’s a small gap in right-center where the shrubs end and the giant wall that houses the out-of-town scoreboard begins.

Right-hander George Kirby, meanwhile, fired five scoreless innings for
Detroit — The Puerto Rican flag that’s been draped in his locker all season should’ve been a tip-off. When Riley Greene was asked before Tuesday’s game if he has had any contact from Team USA about playing in the World Baseball Classic next March, he had a puzzled look on his face. “Um, no,” he said. “I
Since the Statcast era began in the Majors in 2015, baseball analysts, writers and fans have used new ways to break down the national pastime. Terms like exit velocity and barrel rate are more commonplace now than a decade ago, and while they can still make some heads spin, they have largely aided our understanding
COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — Detroit Tigers prospect Jackson Jobe, making his debut for High-A West Michigan Saturday, showed his three best pitches to dispose of Chicago Cubs prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong in the third inning.
