Freelance writer Andrew Graham gives his quick takes on the Tigers' 4-3 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday:
Let's be romantic about baseball and love Ben Malgeri getting his first MLB hit in his debut after getting called up earlier on Tuesday.
And Malgeri didn't waste any time to do it. The outfielder came up for his first at bat in the bottom of the third inning with Zach McKinstry standing on first base and hit the first pitch he saw, a fastball on the outside edge that Malgeri sliced into right field. McKinstry moved to third and scored on a wild pitch, giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead.
So, on top of getting his first major league hit right away, Malgeri got the Tigers' offense in scoring position to pounce on an error. He ended up scoring a run later in the inning, too.
