Will Vest said a feeling in his pinky was bothering him but that he had "no idea" what the extent of the injury was.

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.

The Detroit Tigers have been a massive success story this season, riding the high from their surprise run last year to World Series contention this year.

Vest was slow to cover the plate after the pitch sailed well over catcher Dillon Dingler’s glove, allowing a run to score. Moments later, Dingler, manager A.J. Hinch and assistant athletic trainer Chris McDonald came out to check on him.

One can fairly ask if Max Clark’s inevitable move to Double A Erie has been softened or delayed by a relatively tepid past month at high-A West Michigan.

The Detroit Tigers have been able to power their way firmly to the top of the standings with a balance of strong pitching, hitting, and elite baserunning.

The Detroit Tigers designated relief pitcher John Brebbia for assignment on June 15, calling up pitcher Tyler Owens from Triple-A Toledo.

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.
