Kris Bubic continued his breakout season with 7 strong innings vs. the Twins yesterday.  He gave up 1 run on 2 hits and 2 BBs with 9 Ks.  He leads all MLB pitchers with a 3.1 WAR, and is 2nd in ERA (1.45), 2nd in quality starts (8 of 11 total starts), 6th in innings pitched (68.1), 9th in wins (5 - he's been "Cained" a few times, including yesterday when the Royals needed 10 innings to get the 2-1 win), and 14th in WHIP (1.01).

Also, in my original post of this thread, I neglected to mention A.J. Hinch.  Until a recent 3-game losing skid, he had managed the Tigers to the best record in MLB.  At 34-20, they still lead all AL teams and are only 1/2 game behind Philadelphia for the MLB lead.  Hopefully the Giants can add to Detroit's 1-3 slide.  They catch a break in missing Tarik Skubal & Casey Mize - hopefully they can take advantage of that.

Tigers are abusing Giants in bottom of the 5th, putting them on track to sweep the Giants.
