“I haven’t really allowed myself a lot of time to just be like, ‘Holy cow, this is crazy!’” #Tigers prospect Maddox Long was pitching in Indy ball a little over four months ago, now the right-hander is making a name for himself in the Fall League: atmlb.com/4zwTbe1

West Michigan, I’ll see you in January! Can’t wait to return to the great community where I covered the @wmwhitecaps as an intern in 2003. I learned a lot on those beautiful June & July nights when games would end with daylight in the sky. Look forward to being back in GR!

It has only happened once in @MLB History. In April of 1996, Brady Anderson of the Baltimore @Orioles hit a leadoff home run in the top of the first inning in four consecutive games (April 18–21, 1996).
4th straight game he has homered in the 1st inning. I’m not sure that has ever happened before.

This ties the @wmwhitecaps franchise record for consecutive games with a HR. Antonio McKinney (2000) and Garth McKinney (2004) had also achieved the feat.
Bryce Rainer with a monster blast to dead center. It’s his 14th home run of the year, and his 4th straight game with a bomb.

Phil was the first manager I covered on a daily basis, with the 2003 @wmwhitecaps. He took time to share stories with me and explain in-game decisions. I was a 21-year-old intern at the @GRPress. Those conversations meant so much. Grateful for the impact he made on my life.
Replying to @wmwhitecaps
Beyond the field, Phil was respected throughout the baseball community for his dedication to his players, his teammates, and the game he loved. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and loved ones. (3/3)

Have a night, Bryce Rainer 👏 The Tigers No. 2 prospect went 5-for-5 with two doubles, a homer and six RBI at High-A. Each of his hits left the bat at 109+ mph🔥 (🎥@wmwhitecaps)
