DETROIT — Baseball reporters sometimes need to wait few minutes outside clubhouse doors as players make their way in after a game, before interviews get underway. There was something wild going on Saturday behind those doors following a 3-2 Astros win over the Tigers at Comerica Park, because the hollers were super loud and the hoots even louder at a Club Astros special celebration.
“This is a traveling disco,” one person joked.
It was all centered on righthander Lance McCullers, the 21-year-old rookie who took his first major league win after throwing 100 pitches for the first time in his pro career on Saturday, the last a strikeout looking with a fastball perfectly spotted on the outside corner to sit down Nick Castellanos.
