Detroit — In his office before the Tigers' 5-2 loss Tuesday, manager Ron Gardenhire was asked what he thought of when he saw the Angels.
“Heaven?” he said.
Well, sure, but in a baseball sense, when you think of the Angels you tend to think of Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Shohei Ohtani. And, since it was his first game back at Comerica Park with his new team, former Tigers manager Brad Ausmus was also a talking point.
Pujols came into the night one RBI shy of becoming the fifth player in history to drive in 2,000 runs.
