The Detroit Tigers optioned struggling infielder Nick Maton to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday after their 6-3 loss in ten innings to the Minnesota Twins. Maton, who started at third base Sunday, made a throwing error in the top of the eighth inning that allowed the Twins’ Royce Lewis to score the tying run. Then in the 10th inning, Maton had Lewis’ single bounce off his glove as Minnesota’s Carlos Correa scored the go-ahead run.
Two thousand hits hadn’t been much of a thought in Freddie Freeman’s mind. The hallowed number, and the ultimate goal, is 3,000. But his six-year-old son, Charlie, kept reminding him about it. The Los Angeles Dodgers homestand neared its end, a mini-slump was prolonging, and Freeman’s time was running out. Finally, with two outs in the eighth inning of Sunday’s home finale, it came. A scorching double into the right-center-field gap and career hit No. 2,000, making Freeman the sixth active player to reach the milestone against the Astros.
