With the Tigers’ lineup at full strength for the first time all season, manager A.J. Hinch is going to have to mix and match, which means more days off for most of his regulars. On Sunday, that means Pérez and Matt Vierling getting a breather. The 25-year-old outfielder has been awfully impressive through his first 99 plate appearances, slashing .289/.343/.611 with six homers and 17 RBI.

We figured McKinstry’s .627 OPS in May would be more representative of the rest of his season than his .888 mark from April, but he’s bounced back nicely this month, coming in at .938 so far. He also has seven steals after collecting only three over the first two months. His exit velocity numbers don’t entirely back up his success so far, but to date, he’s been one of the two best position players on one of baseball’s two best teams.

Byron Buxton’s two-run homer in the third was the only damage. Ryan Jeffers almost had a solo shot an inning earlier, but Kerry Carpenter made a leaping catch at the wall. Mize struck out five in spite of having only eight whiffs and a 21% CSW. He still hasn’t allowed more than four runs in a start this season, and he’s given up three earned only three times in 14 starts. He’ll probably make his next start Friday in Cleveland.

He also robbed what might have been a homer in the second inning, yet the Tigers still pinch-hit for him against a lefty with an 8-4 in the eighth. Carpenter has been pretty quiet since his three-homer game against the White Sox on June 2, going 10-for-59 with two homers and a 17/0 K/BB ratio. He’s never been much for walks, but his 60/7 K/BB in 277 plate appearances this season is atrocious. He finished at 75/22 in 296 plate appearances last year.

Carter smacked a one-out double off of Luis Castillo in the second inning and scored the game’s first run on an RBI knock off the bat of Josh Jung. He then singled in the sixth inning and swiped second base but was left stranded there. The 22-year-old outfielder also was walked intentionally in the 11th inning and swiped second base to get himself into scoring position, but the Rangers couldn’t cash him in. With his three-hit attack, Carter is now slashing .283/.372/.444 with four homers, 11 RBI and eight stolen bases in his first 113 plate appearances with the Rangers this season.

Both homers were two-run shots. The struggling Cruz hadn’t homered since June 10 or had a multihit game since June 4 or had a multi-RBI game since May 28. It’s his second career two-homer game; he also had one on May 23 just before his slump started.

Cruz has batted fifth or lower in each of his last three starts since a highly-public incident earlier this week when he was benched by Pirates interim manager Don Kelly for a lack of on-field energy and effort. The 26-year-old, who has mostly batted leadoff this season, remains one of the most potent power/speed combo threats from a fantasy standpoint, but it would be a hit to his counting stats potential if he remains stuck near the bottom of Pittsburgh’s lackluster lineup for an extended period.
