GRAND RAPIDS — Colt Keith shrugged his shoulders and started to grin in an “Aw, shucks” sort of way.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Akil Baddoo took off for second base. He followed Robbie Grossman’s solo home run with a five-pitch walk on Tuesday, reaching base for the first time since May.

In a bygone era (2018-21), Tigers drafts were more intriguing than next month’s MLB sweepstakes figures to be. In the last four years, the Tigers have picked third, first, fifth, and first — overall.

Pittsburgh — Miguel Cabrera is going to have to start speaking for himself pretty soon because everybody else is running out of ways to explain what he’s been able to do at age 39. “There’s 3,000-plus hits there,” manager AJ Hinch said, shrugging. “He’s incredible in these big moments.” Cabrera lined a single up the
PITTSBURGH — Alex Faedo isn’t supposed to be a reliable cog in the Tigers’ rotation — not as a rookie, not with barely any work above Double-A before his arrival, and certainly not coming off Tommy John surgery a year and a half ago.
