Detroit Tigers rout Minnesota Twins 7-0; Charlie Morton strikes out five over six innings
Charlie Morton gave up two hits and struck out five over six innings and the Detroit Tigers scored five runs in the first inning of a 7-0 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. Dillon Dingler hit a two-run single in the first, in which the Tigers batted around against Twins starter Pierson Ohl (0-3), who was making his fifth career start. An error by Minnesota second baseman Luke Keaschall led to four unearned runs. That was enough for 41-year-old right-hander Morton (8-10), who bounced back after a rough start against the Angels his last time out. Ohl, who faced Detroit earlier this month, lasted only 2 1/3 innings. Four of the seven total runs he surrendered were unearned. Dingler drove in his third run of the game with a double in the third. Javier Báez also drove in a pair of runs for the Tigers, who are leading the AL Central. Spencer Torkelson reached base three times and scored twice for Detroit. The start of Friday's game was delayed 26 minutes due to rain. Keaschall reached base three times, but his error in the first inning helped open the floodgates for the Tigers. It was the second error of his young 17-game MLB career. Friday was Morton's second start of the year in which he did not allow a run. He also put up a zero in a five-inning start against Baltimore in June. RHP Casey Mize (11-4, 3.50 ERA) starts the third game of the series for the Tigers and looks to win his third straight outing. The Twins counter with RHP Zebby Matthews (3-4, 5.11), who beat Detroit in his prior start against the Tigers this season.

Padres' Dylan Cease gets bad news after latest Mason Miller report
Padres' Dylan Cease gets bad news after latest Mason Miller report originally appeared on The Sporting News The San Diego Padres had the best trade deadline in Major League Baseball, no matter how anyone wants to put it. Of course, one could argue for a few other teams, but the Padres did what they had to do, and they're currently reaping the benefits of that, now leading the Los Angeles Dodgers by one game. Their biggest trade deadline acquisition, Mason Miller, who went for one of the top prospects in Major League Baseball, Leo De Vries, might not just be a closer for the Padres moving forward. Many view him as a potential starter, and according to a recent report from Thomas Harrigan, that could affect some of the Padres' free agents, including Dylan Cease. "The flamethrowing right-hander has given San Diego's bullpen another electric arm, though it remains to be seen how long he'll actually stay there. No, Miller isn't going anywhere -- he's controllable through 2029 -- but there have been rumblings that the Padres could consider transitioning him back to the rotation in the future. With Dylan Cease, Michael King and the newly acquired Nestor Cortes all nearing free agency, how the Friars decide to proceed with Miller could have a major impact on their approach to the starting pitching market this offseason," he wrote. MORE:Padres' JP Sears' minor league outing very important amid Michael King's injury If the Padres plan to stretch Miller out over the next few months, after the season, and convert him to a full-time starter, there wouldn't be much of a reason to keep all three of Cease, Michael King, and Nestor Cortes on the roster. Cease is likely still the best pitcher in that group, but Miller worked as a starter earlier in his career, and if his fastball plays at the level it has in a starting rotation, he'd be dominant, which could lead to Cease leaving in free agency.
