Our Reading

The game followed a familiar script.

The Tigers got off to a slow start, and things only got worse from there. Two crucial calls went against them, and they ended up losing the game 9-4.

Benetti and Dirks were left scratching their heads, wondering what was going on in the replay office.

It’s always something with this team, and it seems like the baseball gods are against them.

Their manager, A.J. Hinch, even got kicked out of the game for arguing with the umpire.

This one felt recognizable early.
