PITTSBURGH – A.J. Hinch promised his team wouldn't sulk after it got swept by the Chicago White Sox, or be caught by even the slightest bit of disheartenment. That wasn't going to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Pirates, he noted.
The manager was right.
Mostly.
Whatever else is said about his Tigers, about their youthful inconsistency, their uneven bullpen, their talent for booting a grounder or walking back-to-back batters and turning blowouts into high-stress innings, there is this: They don't dwell.
And they didn't Monday, Aug. 17, at PNC Park as they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-5.
