Gose: ghost
Gose and McClendon got into a heated argument in the dugout during the first game of a doubleheader for the Toledo Mud Hens on Saturday. According to The Toledo Blade, the argument prompted McClendon to remove Gose from the lineup in the third inning, replacing him with pinch hitter Jeff McVaney.The 25-year-old Gose, who began the season as the Tigers' starting center fielder, did not show up at the ballpark for Sunday's game after not being in the lineup for the second game Saturday. Gose's personal items were not in his locker room after the game Saturday, according to the Toledo Blade.

As the radar gun readings climbed into the upper 90s Friday night at Comerica Park, it seemed as if Detroit Tigers starter Justin Verlander was throwing with more velocity than he had in some time.Now there are stats to back it up.ESPN Stats and Information said Verlander's average fastball in Friday night's 4-2 win over Kansas City was 95 mph, his best single-game average in the last three seasons.The Royals swung at 17 fastballs up in the zone, whiffing 11 times.Verlander now leads the majors with a 26 percent miss rate when throwing a fastball. He has also struck out 25.6 percent of batters faced in 2016, his highest rate since he won the Cy Young in 2011.

Cameron Maybin held out his arm.“I’ve got goose bumps, man, look,” he said. “It gives me goose bumps. Just to be able to go out there and play and play and play. It’s just a feeling of happiness because you never know what you can do if you are out there.“It’s been really fun to go to bed at night and wake up knowing I’m going to be in that lineup — truly fun.”

Martinez had a game plan when he went up to bat, but the ovation from the fans made him change his approach.“I was just like ‘You know what, forget this — see ball, hit ball.’ Look for the ball, and just be ready to hit,” he said. “I saw it nice and slow and just said, ‘This is it.’ I knew — I don’t know.”

DETROIT -- It was a curious time for a bunt, with two men out and the bases loaded in the third inning.When Detroit Tigers shortstop Andrew Romine laid the ball down in front of the plate, pitcher Peter Moylan quickly flipped it to the catcher for a force-out at home.Was Romine instructed to bunt? Did someone miss a signal? No and no, said manager Brad Ausmus."He just did that on his own," Ausmus said.Why, particularly in that situation?"You'd have to ask him," Ausmus said. "I can't say what he was thinking."Romine chose not to say, either, declining to talk to media after the game.

@cmccoskyAndrew Romine on attempting bases-loaded, 2-out bunt: "I thought it was the right move, only because the third baseman was back."
And you...bunted it straight to the pitcher.
@cmccoskyRomine: "If I get on, get a run in and bring top of lineup up, with Kinsler, I don't think anybody would be questioning me there."
Ah, hadn't thought about that. *tips cap*

Fulmer began this game needing 6.1 IP to qualify for the ERA title. Rain delay after three innings (and 68 pitches). Not looking good.
