If nothing else, the Tigers have Kevin McGonigle. Would his boys in Philly approve of the Red Wings hat? “Probably not. But I fell in love with this city.”

43-year-old Justin Verlander on getting to experience one last All-Star Game -- with *both?* his sons "I have my son now -- I mean, he won’t remember it, but I’ll have some pictures with him -- and then getting to go with Kevin McGonigle, who could be my son age-wise..." 😂💀

This was Kalif Raymond’s “favorite play of the game.” Roquan Smith took a shot at St. Brown coming across the middle and missed. St. Brown turned around and rammed him. “He showed, ‘I have no fear. You tried to hit me, but now it’s *my* turn.’ He’s a different breed.”

Amon-Ra St. Brown: "You can become numb to losing as you can winning. I feel like we won so many games these past years that you feel like you can just keep getting by with what we were doing, and the target only gets bigger on your back as you keep winning games."

JV: "I came back here with the intention of being part of a playoff-caliber team and hopefully doing something special. We know the situation we put ourselves in, and our job is to give Scott a tough decision to make, and give us a chance to be buyers, not sellers, and go for it"

Jalen Duren on his T-shirt for J.B. Bickerstaff, who was named NBA Coach of the Year by his peers: "This dark-skinned JB right here." "This is just credit to him, just showing love to Coach on his special day." "I love JB. Hopefully I can spend the rest of my career with JB."

"The biggest thing from last year to this year ... I feel like there were times last year where we were thrown a lot and we had to sift through it and figure it out. This year we’ve done a good job of mastering the basic things and then building off those."

The Tigers have lost 7 straight series, 6 of those against sub-.500 teams, 4 against teams at bottom of their division. Hear from Flaherty, Keith and Hinch after 7-1 loss to Angels. "This is the same offense we started in a playoff series — two of them, in fact, one we won."

Tigers have won 7 of 8. Their SP in those 7 wins: 4 ER. Troy Melton last 4 starts: 2 ER "It’s just carrying the baton from the guys that pitched before, and then hopefully the guys after me do the same ... This is always what we knew we were capable of." Melton, Rogers, Hinch⤵️

Riley Greene on new approach: “If you have two strikes with a runner on second, maybe try not to hit a homer 5,000 feet. … Let’s maybe choke up.” “It showed last season that I was trying to hit a homer every single time.” Powered by your Metro Detroit Jeep Dealers:

Over their last 162 games, Tigers are 23rd in MLB in runs scored. 25th this season, and slipping. A.J. Hinch: "If we’re just getting frustrated now, then we’re late ... These guys are grinding. I know a lot of people are giving up on them. We’re not gonna give up on each other."

The Tigers are now tied for last in the AL with the same lowly Angels who just beat them. Their pitchers are prone to implosions, their bats are mostly broken, and their defense is increasingly indefensible. Hear from Vest, Torkelson and Hinch, after another brutal blow:

Mike Matheson blows a tire, and Alex DeBrincat lifts the Red Wings to a huge win. A terrific 3rd for Detroit. Copp the empty-netter in his return. Now they’re chanting USA-USA as the Habs fans head for the exists.
