Bases loaded with Prince!
Just to add a little Motown flavor to the hype:

Jacob Turner going tomorrow for the Tigers, Smiley went on the DL end of last week.
Nice win for the Tigers this evening...although we were in big trouble after Porcello gave up those mid-inning runs. I really like how we're getting production out of the bottom half of the lineup; and I like what I'm seeing from Fister who looks as though he is finally injury-free after the All-Star break. However, 3-5 in the starting rotation is inconsistent, at best. Sure, Porcellor and Scherzer should be more "seasoned" given they work side-by-side with JV - a disciplined workhorse. Also, Santiago needs to start hitting or they need to play someone else at 2B.
Very humid night in Michigan today, 102 to tomorrow
It's gonna be a HOT one tonight in the ballpark - good thing they're not playing a day game.
Have you been seeing/hearing about Tigers 3B prospect Nick Castellanos, they have started to have him play in the outfield, seeing Cabrera is not going anywhere soon .... I know he's a big guy, but why not groom him to play 2b seeing we continually need a 2b year after year ?
Looks like game time temps will still be close to 100
