“It’s been tough, man, to be honest with you,” Engel said. “Every time something happens, go to the trainers and having to say, ‘Hey something’s going on here,’ and the next thing you know I figure out it’s going to set me back a week, two weeks, whatever the case may be. So that’s been really hard. But I’m excited to get going again. I take a lot of pride in trying to prepare my body the best way I can.

The Tigers responded with three in the bottom of the inning. With runners on the corners and a run already in, Schoop hit a grounder fielded by César Hernández. The second baseman tagged the runner headed to second, Victor Reyes, with his glove while the ball was in his throwing hand. He then threw late to first.
