DETROIT (AP) — It was a big night for the bench coaches at Comerica Park.With both managers gone because of a suspension and an ejection Justin Grimm Jersey , Joe McEwing and Steve Liddle guided their teams through the late innings Friday night. McEwing’s Chicago White Sox ultimately won, beating Liddle’s Detroit Tigers 7-3.“It was a real good team win, all the way around,” McEwing said, deflecting credit afterward.McEwing at least had some advance notice that he’d be taking over managerial duties. The White Sox were without manager Rick Renteria and shortstop Tim Anderson. Those two were serving suspensions for their actions during Wednesday’s bench-clearing fracas against Kansas City.Liddle, on the other hand, took over in the top of the fifth after Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire was ejected.Yoan Moncada hit a mammoth home run in the first inning for Chicago, which eventually broke the game open with five runs in the seventh. Carlos Rodon (3-2) allowed a run and three hits in six innings for the White Sox.Gardenhire was tossed in the fifth for having words with plate umpire Todd Tichenor after Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann (0-3) walked in a run to give the White Sox a 2-1 lead.“Gardy wasn’t out there talking about the color of the bathroom drapes,” Liddle said. “He was just kind of protecting his player. And that’s what he’s done. I’ve been around Gardy for a long time, he’s been thrown out of a lot of games, and I’d say it’s about 90 percent of the time it’s because he’s protecting the players.”Josh Harrison, Grayson Greiner and Niko Goodrum homered for Detroit’s three runs, but it was Moncada’s drive in the first that stood out. His home run , which may have had some help from the wind on a blustery night http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , carried beyond the two rows of bushes above the wall in center field. It went 458 feet, according to Statcast.Zimmermann came into the game averaging the fewest walks per nine innings (1.91) of any active pitcher with at least 1,000 innings. He wasn’t sharp enough on this night, though. He walked four, one shy of his career high, and allowed five runs in 6 1/3 innings.“I was around the zone most of the night and a lot of borderline calls that other umpires would’ve gave me, and I can’t live over the plate or I’ll be gone in the first inning,” Zimmermann said. “So I have to live on the corners and there was a lot of questionable calls tonight. He thought they were balls and I thought they were strikes. You know, he had a bad night.”Moncada drew a walk with the bases loaded in the fifth, and although Zimmermann looked frustrated and Gardenhire was thrown out of the game, a replay showed that ball four indeed appeared to miss the plate.In the seventh, Zimmermann was pulled after allowing a two-run single to Leury Garcia. Jose Abreu added a two-run double off reliever Daniel Stumpf to make it 6-1, and Yonder Alonso followed with an RBI single.Greiner’s homer in the bottom of the seventh was the first of his career, and Goodrum added a solo shot in the ninth.RISING STAR?Moncada’s home run was his sixth of the season Blaine Boyer Jersey , to go along with a .321 average.“He’s doing things that we all knew that he can do, but it’s now, when he has the chance to display all the things he can do well — amazing,” Abreu said through a translator.TRAINER’S ROOMTigers: Harrison, who was hit in the left hand by a pitch in Thursday’s game, was in the lineup and homered for the first time this season.UP NEXTWhite Sox: RHP Ervin Santana (0-1) takes the mound Saturday against the Tigers.Tigers: LHP Daniel Norris (0-0) makes his first start of the season. He’s in the rotation now because of a season-ending injury to Matt Moore.

On the bright side, German Marquez has been pretty unstoppable on the mound http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , which has seemed amplified by his contract extension. The less than good news has been the utter lack of offense. They Rockies haven’t been able to get much of anything together in terms of hitting, and between injuries and playing opposite strong pitchers, the Rockies need to get this figured out. The ugly list is a little too long to be comfortable. Ian Desmond’s hitting, Tyler Anderson’s and Chad Bettis’s performances, and even Jon Gray all have us putting our heads in our hands and wondering when they’ll get it all figured out.Tyler Anderson, Steven Brault, and Mike Leake on Learning Their Changeups | FanGraphs Picking up a new pitch can be very difficult for a pitcher. There’s new mechanics and timing to figure out, and it can take some real work. Tyler Anderson talks with FanGraphs about how he learned the changeup. He says initially he tried to figure it out by watching others, but once he got to college at the University of Oregon, he had to really learn it. He worked hard to find the right grip that worked for him and gave him the right amount of control. And it’s worked for him, with a pretty successful changeup.Trevor Story picks up some advice from Alex Rodriguez | Mile High SportsThe Colorado Rockies played a Sunday Night Baseball game for the first time in 18 years, and they got more or less wrecked by the Dodgers. However, it was still good to have the ESPN crew come to Denver. Trevor Story was able to speak with Alex Rodriguez, about baseball and a baseball career. This was a big deal for Story Melky Cabrera Jersey , who grew up watching A-Rod play. Story has developed into a real leader among the Rockies, and this shows in the respect between the two baseball men.Tapia looking to capitalize on opportunities | Rockies.comRaimel Tapia is out of minor league options, and it’s now or never for him to shine with the Rockies. David Dahl’s oblique injury will hopefully not keep him out too long, but Tapia now has a chance to prove himself. Tapia has to remain in control, rather than chasing pitches and not getting much contact. He also has to stay calm, playing loose rather than being a bit uptight. Tapia has his own style, and that’s something he should definitely embrace. He brings a uniqueness, and if he can make that work for him on and off the field, 2019 might be Tapia’s year. In Rockies association minor league news, the Lancaster Jethawks fell behind early to Lake Elsinore. The Isotopes topped the Salt Lake Bees 9-4. Harrisburg defeated the Hartford Yard Goats, and the Asheville Tourists’ game got postponed due to rain.
