At lunch after church, comment section regular Alan and I were talking about Omar Infante's slow start as a Tiger, struggling to get much over .200 when he was hitting around .270 previously; small sample set, I said. Today, he went 4/6 with a homer and a clutch two-run single in the 10th in a 10-8 win. The average just zipped up to .278.
To add to the infield depth, they picked up Jeff Baker from the Cubs for two players to be named later. Baker is a right-handed utility guy who can play everything but short, center and catcher; sounds about like Ryan Rayburn, except that Baker is a .270 career hitter. Rayburn got put in the DL and may well have seen his last action as a Tiger
