Tigers Rookie Will Rhymes Proves He Wants To Stay After Career Day At Plate
Nobody was looking to send Tigers rookie second baseman Will Rhymes to the minor leagues after Sunday's game.
Rhymes had a career day in an 8-1 win over the Cleveland Indians at Comerica Park. He had a hit in each of his first four at-bats, scored three runs and finished 4-for-5 with three singles, a double and an RBI.
Rhymes, batting .310, went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs in a 9-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Aug. 8, but was sent to Triple-A Toledo after the game to make room for second baseman Carlos Guillen, who was coming off the 15-day disabled list. Guillen is back on the DL.
