Tigers promote Max Clark, who hits two-run homer in early MLB games
NBC Sports reported that the Detroit Tigers defeated the Oakland Athletics 8-6 as rookie outfielder Max Clark hit a two-run homer and added multiple extra-base hits, highlighting his blend of power and speed. The club had promoted the 21-year-old after a strong stretch in Triple-A Toledo, a move that required a corresponding 40-man roster adjustment. The promotion also led Detroit to postpone pitcher Casey Mize's scheduled start as the team prepared for potential roster moves before the trade deadline, ESPN said.
