Tigers Make Move on Relief Pitcher After Rough Outing vs. Reds originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers dropped their second game in three tries against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday by a score of 8-4, their second loss in a row to manager Terry Francona's team.

The Tigers’ offense, for the first six innings, was limited to a pair of solo home runs off Reds lefty starter Wade Miley. Jahmai Jones, who came in 6 for 11 in his first seven games, launched a 2-1 cutter over the bullpen in left.

Yet, despite the disappointing result, the Tigers remain atop the American League Central, several games ahead of the second-place Minnesota Twins. The Reds are still fourth in the National League Central, but are doing their part to close the gap on a Wild Card spot.

Elly De La Cruz homered, scored three times and drove in three runs as the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers 8-4.

The Reds piled on in the eighth against veteran John Brebbia. They scored three runs off him in the ninth inning Friday (he only got one out), and in the eighth inning Saturday, No. 9 hitter Matt McLain dinged him with a three-run homer.

The Reds did tack on three too-little, too-late runs in the ninth when De La Cruz doubled home Santiago Espinal to make it 11-3, then Tyler Stephenson doubled in two more runs to make it 11-5. De La Cruz was 3-for-4, raising his average to .267.
