American Family Baseball Tiger of the Game
Josh Gentry pitched well for the Tigers — just not quite well enough. He allowed just one earned run on three hits, in a six-inning performance. Gentry also collected a hit in a 1-for-3 night at the plate, and he’s our American Family Baseball Tiger of the Game.
