Detroit — Let’s face it, a playoff chase might have been — and might be — a lot to ask of the Tigers.
But they remain on the outskirts of a wild-card spot and keep the conversation going.
A victory like Tuesday’s maintains hope.
Spencer Turnbull was in control and Victor Reyes and Jeimer Candelario again ignited the offense as the Tigers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 8-3.
Turnbull went six innings and allowed three hits and no runs, while walking three and striking out three. In what has been a mainly inconsistent season, Turnbull was definitely on the positive side of the ledger.
