Zach McKinstry went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double and a walk to lead the Tigers to a 6-4 win over the Padres on Monday.
The Tigers probably would have non-tendered McKinstry over the winter had he not agreed to a deal before the deadline. They’re awfully glad he did now, as he’s come through with a .314/.424/.471 line while getting a whole lot more time than expected in the early going. We’re not at all optimistic that he’ll keep it up, but it’s been a fun time thus far.
