— Tigers catcher Alex Avila, talking about the critter that briefly stopped a game against Kansas City on Thursday at Comerica Park in the eighth inning.

Khris Davis
OF, Milwaukee
He hit two three-run homers for six RBI in the Brewers' 10-1 victory over San Diego on Thursday. "It's resulted from hard work," said Davis, who homered for the first time since July 18. "I've been swinging and missing a lot and not getting through the ball." Davis has nine homers this season. This was his third career multihomer game.
