Keider Montero, Riley Greene lead Tigers to 3-1 win over Giants
Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) — Keider Montero pitched five scoreless innings and Riley Greene drove in two runs to help the Detroit Tigers beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Monday.
Montero (2-1) entered the game with a 5.28 ERA in six games, but held the Giants to one hit and two walks while striking out three.
Five relievers finished, with Will Vest pitching the ninth for his sixth save.
Hayden Birdsong (2-1) took the loss, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings.
The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the fourth on Dillon Dingler's RBI single, and they added two runs in the fifth.
With one out, Detroit loaded the bases on a single and two walks before Greene looped a two-run single into center. Reliever Erik Miller avoided a worse outcome by intentionally walking Spencer Torkelson and getting Zach McKinstry to hit into an inning-ending double play.
Wilmer Flores' RBI single made it 3-1 in the sixth, but the Giants failed to get a runner into scoring position in the last three innings. Key moment
Tigers CF Javier Báez was ejected in the fifth inning after an animated argument with the home-plate umpire over a called third strike on a pitch that Statcast showed to be low. After the ejection, Báez had to be restrained by teammate Gleyber Torres and third-base coach Joey Cora. Key stat
The Tigers have an MLB-high 19 wins in 26 day games. Up next
The teams play the second of a three-game series on Tuesday evening, with Detroit RHP Jack Flaherty (2-6, 4.39) facing RHP Logan Webb (5-4, 2.67).

Mariners Make Logan Gilbert Announcement After Velocity Dip
Mariners Make Logan Gilbert Announcement After Velocity Dip originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite another spectacular home run-saving catch by Julio Rodriguez, the Seattle Mariners dropped their series opener 5-4 to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Advertisement However, they may soon have some reinforcements on the way as they try to keep pace with the AL West-leading Houston Astros. Seattle ace Logan Gilbert continues to work his way back from a right elbow flexor strain, which has shelved him since late April. During his second rehab outing on Wednesday, the 28-year-old threw 60 pitches across three innings, allowing five hits, one walk, one hit batter and two earned runs. SI's Teren Kowatsch noted that, "He touched 96.8 mph on his fastball in the first inning, but his velocity dipped to just under 94 mph at the end of his outing. His average velocity was 95.4 mph." However, Gilbert acknowledged afterward he "wasn't concerned" about it, as reported by The Seattle Times' Adam Jude. Advertisement On Friday, Mariners manager Dan Wilson announced Friday that Gilbert will make "at least" one more rehab start with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, according to Daniel Kramer. Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (36) delivers a Hamilton-Imagn Images Kramer added that while the date has not yet been confirmed, "it'd likely be on Tuesday." If that outing were to go well, it could put Gilbert on track to rejoin his Seattle teammates for the Mariners' upcoming six-game homestand against the Cleveland Guardians and Boston Red Sox. Through his first six big-league starts this season, the Mariners ace has posted a sparkling 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP across 30 1/3 innings with 44 strikeouts.

Painful MLB broadcasts are putting focus on all the wrong things
Seems every MLB telecast now comes with a dare: How many extraneous, superfluous and mindless artificial additives can we endure before we tap out? How much empty yak and phony belly laughs from the booth can we indulge? How many distracting interviews, misapplied and mindless stats? How many gambling come-ons or 'first 18,000 guests' promos? How much more bad baseball can be witnessed but left unspoken by paid TV experts? 5 David Cone, Michael Kay, and Paul O'Neill at Yankee Stadium in the YES booth. YES How many meaningless stats and full-screen StatCast graphics can be presented as meaningful? How many 'who cares?' examinations and dubious identifications of every pitch and their velocities? How many swing-and-miss Steve Gelbs' not-funny comedic intrusions when none are needed?
