The Bucks are back in action tonight and face a must-win game against the Heat. Milwaukee trails in that best-of-seven game series, 3-1. The Bucks faded in the fourth quarter Monday night as Miami stormed back to win 119-114 behind Jimmy Butler’s 56 points.
Last night Atlanta edged Boston 119-117 but still trail in that series 3-2. Denver won their series 4-1 with a 112-109 win over Minnesota and the Suns beat the Clippers 136-130 to win their series 4-1.
In other games tonight the Knicks play at the Cavs, the Lakers are at Memphis and the Warriors play at Sacramento.
Kerry Carpenter hit a three-run home run and four Detroit Tigers pitchers held the Milwaukee Brewers in check, as Detroit beat Milwaukee 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Milwaukee started the eighth inning with a leadoff double, but then Willy Adames, Rowdy Tellez and William Contreras struck out.
It was the first time this season that the Brewers have lost three straight, including a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.
Before beating the Brewers 4-2 on Monday, the Tigers had lost four straight, scoring a total of five runs.
Detroit scored all its runs in the second inning. Carpenter, who had been 0-for-12, homered off starter Eric Lauer (3-2).
The Tigers added the decisive run with two outs. Eric Haase kept the inning alive with a ground ball single that third baseman Owen Miller put a glove on but couldn’t scoop. That allowed Spencer Torkelson to bat. He singled in Javier Báez, who had doubled.
Detroit entered Tuesday with the fewest runs and the lowest batting average in the majors.
It was the shortest of Lauer’s five starts this season. He threw 85 pitches over three innings. The left-hander had won his previous two starts, allowing three runs in 13 2/3 innings.
Detroit starter Spencer Turnbull gave up two runs in four innings. Left-hander Tyler Alexander replaced Turnbull. He was chased when Tellez led off the sixth inning with his eighth home run, which made the game 4-3.
In the eighth, Luke Voit hit the leadoff double off Mason Englert (1-1). But Englert struck out Adames and Tellez before being lifted for Jason Foley. Foley struck out William Contreras, then retired Milwaukee in order in the ninth to earn his second save.
Three Milwaukee relievers pitched scoreless innings Elvis Peguero (three), Joel Payamps (two) and Peter Strzelecki (one).
Matt Vierling had three singles for Detroit. Torkelson, Baez and Miguel Cabrera each had two hits.
The three-game series ends Wednesday afternoon. Tigers RHP Michael Lorenzen (0-0, 6.00 ERA) faces Brewers RHP Freddy Peralta (2-2, 3.97 ERA).
Elsewhere in the NL Central Tuesday the Dodgers edged the Pirates 8-7, the Reds nipped the Rangers 7-6, the Cubs shutout the Padres 6-0 and the Giants got past the Cardinals 5-4.
Aaron Rodgers has said his goodbye to Green Bay, his home for 18 years. The four-time NFL MVP and 15-year starter for the Packers posted on Instagram Tuesday afternoon.
“I’m not sure it’s possible to fully express the gratitude that I have to the @packers , our incredible fans, the state of Wisconsin, the thousands of players that I crossed paths with, the incredible men and women who work for the organization, and the amazing people who I got to meet along the way, in one post with 10 pictures, but I hope you read this and feel my heart and soul, filled with love, joy, and peace about my time in green and gold,” Rodgers wrote.
“I grew up in Green Bay, drafted at 21, fell in love with the game, met some lifelong friends, and take with me memories that will last a lifetime.”
Rodgers has had a complicated relationship with the Packers organization since the team drafted his replacement, Jordan Love, in the 2020 NFL Draft.
However, Rodgers uses this post to thank several members of the Packers, including team executives, coaches and teammates.
“This is not the end for us, I will see you again Green Bay, you’ll always have my heart,” Rodgers wrote.
A Mississippi judge shot down a request from Brett Favre to have civil charges dismissed from his ongoing welfare saga.
Favre is accused of being involved in what is the largest welfare fraud case ever in the state of Mississippi. $80 million in funds were fraudulently transferred from the Mississippi TANF – Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
