Tigers promote Brett Callahan from Triple-A Toledo

It’s unclear what was wrong. DeLauter popped out in the first before exiting two innings later. Angel Martínez replaced him, with Jo Adell moving from left field to right.

That homer puts Murakami up to 29 homers on the season; an impressive total even before you consider he missed time with his hamstring injury. The 26-year-old rookie has gone deep four times in the month of August, which has helped compensate for his less-than-ideal .188 average for the month. Murakami is going to frustrate at times — that’s a bit of an understatement — but the power production helps turn the bitter into better.

Weathers allowed six hits and one walk in a no-decision. He was in line for the victory before ninth-inning defensive struggles sent the game to extras. Regardless, the southpaw has been on quite the run. He entered Sunday’s outing with a 2-0 record and a 0.74 ERA over his previous four starts. Acquired from the Marlins this past offseason, Weathers has been a key piece of the Yankees’ strong rotation. He’ll get a rematch with the Blue Jays next time out.

Bednar didn’t allow any hits or earned runs, but a passed ball with runners on base set up an Ernie Clement sac fly to tie the game in the ninth. He had been in line for a five-out save, and the defensive miscue cost Ryan Weathers the victory. Bednar still picked up the win himself once the Yankees came out on top in extras. He’s performed well in the closer role this season and will remain the favorite for save chances in the Bronx.

Cease allowed two hits and three walks. He became the first American League pitcher to reach 200 strikeouts this season, a mark he has hit in six consecutive campaigns. The last two pitchers to accomplish that feat were Max Scherzer and Chris Sale. Cease has been on a roll, and the AL Cy Young race between him and Cam Schlittler is getting tight. Up next is a rematch against the Yankees, this time in the Bronx.
