Tigers end 6 game slide with 3-1 win at Toronto – WSJM Morning Sports
MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, Toronto Blue Jays 1 Cubs and White Sox were off Tigers 3, Blue Jays 1 – Báez benched as Tigers beat Jays 3-1, end 6-game skid Javier Báez was benched after a baserunning gaffe and Spencer Turnbull pitched five solid innings as the Detroit Tigers avoided a three-game sweep by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1. Zach McKinstry drove in the go-ahead run and Jake Rogers had two hits and an RBI as Detroit snapped a six-game skid. Turnbull allowed one run on six hits and one walk with six strikeouts. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch removed Báez from the game in the third, one inning after Báez appeared to lose track of the outs and ran into a double play. Chris Bassitt took the loss for the Blue Jays, allowing two runs in six innings. Tonight San Francisco (Manaea 0-0) at Detroit (Wentz 0-2), 6:40 p.m. News/Talk/Sports 94.9 WSJM 6:15 Baltimore (Wells 0-1) at Chicago White Sox (Clevinger 2-0), 7:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Steele 1-0) at L.A.

Facing Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt, Báez doubled off the left-field wall with one out in the second inning. It was Báez’s first extra-base hit of the season, but he didn’t run hard out of the box, apparently thinking he had homered. Báez broke for third and rounded the base on Akil Baddo’s liner to center, and was easily doubled off to end the inning. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Tampa Bay Lightning 5, Detroit Red Wings 0 Philadelphia Flyers 5, Chicago Blackhawks 4 – OT End Regular Season for Detroit and Chicago Lightning 5, Red Wings 0 – Point gets 50th, 51st goals, Lightning beat Red Wings 5-0 Brayden Point scored his 50th and 51st goals, backup Brian Elliott made 32 saves,and the Tampa Bay Lightning stopped a four-game losing streak with a 5-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings. It was the regular-season finale for both teams. Point joined Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier as the only Lightnning players to reach the 50-goal mark. Alex Killorn, Brandon Hagel and Michael Eyssimont also scored for the playoff-bound Lightning. The Red Wings, despite ending the season 0-4-1, finished with their most points since their last playoff team in 2015-16. Flyers 4, Blackhawks 3 – OT – Toews, Blackhawks lose 5-4 to Flyers in finale Jonathan Toews scored in his final game with the Chicago Blackhawks, but Ivan Provorov scored 3:09 into overtime to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-4 victory in the season finale for each team. Toews won three Stanley Cup titles in 15 seasons with Chicago, but general manager Kyle Davidson announced earlier in the day that the team would not re-sign its longtime captain.

It was Báez’s first extra-base hit of the season, but he didn’t run hard out of the box, apparently thinking he had homered.

Locally Grown: SW Michigan cannabis business to star in ‘Growing Belushi’ episode
Last summer, Hollywood actor-turned-cannabis farmer Jim Belushi hand-harvested Cassopolis’ Highway Horticulture to be the exclusive Michigan cultivator for his Belushi’s Farm-branded line of products. On Wednesday, April 19, Highway Horticulture and its retail operation Sunset Coast Provisions will be featured on Belushi’s Discovery Network TV show Growing Belushi, which follows Belushi, his family and their team at Belushi’s Farm as they make their mark in the cannabis industry. Highway Horticulture Lead Cultivator Nick Luhowy said Growing Belushi filmed segments at their grow facility and Sunset Coast in Cassopolis, as well as at Green Stem Provisioning and last summer’s Blues Brothers concert in Niles. “What they’ll show about our facility is the actual cultivation, the actual plants, staff – in two days of filming they asked questions on every methodology that we use to put quality first,” Luhowy said. “That’s Jim’s thing, it’s got to be high quality … we get along brilliantly in that respect. From what we’ve seen, the episode will focus mainly on the dispensaries, his new interest in Michigan and us cultivating for him.” Luhowy – who previously was nationwide lead cultivator for the Chicago-based, publicly-traded Green Thumb Industries and founded of Phenotype Farmers in Seattle – said his commitment to producing the best product at Highway Horticulture aligns perfectly with Belushi’s mission of creating a gateway to healing through cannabis medicine. The Belushi’s Farm product line is created under Highway Horticulture’s InnerState Craft Cannabis, which Luhowy said has Michigan’s largest selection of cannabis strains and strives to grow the highest-quality product possible. “Of course, everyone likes to say that,” said Luhowy, on growing high quality cannabis. “We take a great deal of pride in it by making sure we have more diversity, because consumers don’t buy the same thing as often as people like to think. … To give people that opportunity to find new stuff that appeals to them that we’ve spent six months vetting. It’s not a very lucrative process on our end, but it separates us dramatically.” While Luhowy is flattered to have his operation featured on a national scale, he said he is more grateful that someone like Belushi, who has great influence and reach, cherry-picked Highway Horticulture to be a partner. “I’m humbled that Jim is not just trying to expand for profit,” Luhowy said. “He actually wants to have people know that they can go to his brand because it’s cultivated perfectly, and it represents diverse genetics. He loves consumer feedback because he wants to tailor his offerings to the people of Michigan. You just never see that. Most companies grow for profit, or just high potency or something very monotone. He is a different breed – he’s got more of a grower’s heart to him than any celebrity I know. … “That’s incredibly humbling to see someone at that celebrity level so focused on quality. I mean, that’s the best compliment I can give the guy is he cares more about the people and the plant than any of these other celebrities I’ve met.” The Growing Belushi episode airs at 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 19 on Discovery Plus.

Toronto erased a two-run deficit in the ninth on sacrifice flies by Whit Merrifield and pinch-hitter Alejandro Kirk after reliever Trey Wingenter loaded the bases. Springer’s single up the middle off José Cisnero scored automatic runner Danny Jansen, who advanced from second to third on Kevin Kiermaier’s sacrifice bunt. Kevin Gausman struck out 11 in eight innings for the Blue Jays, who have won seven of eight. Detroit took a 3-1 lead on Kerry Carpenter’s two-run homer in the seventh. Nick Maton also homered for the Tigers. Twins 3, White Sox 1 – Gray, Twins take series with 3-1 win vs. White Sox Sonny Gray threw five scoreless innings in a third strong start to open the season for the Minnesota Twins. He outdueled Lucas Giolito to beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1. The Twins won their third series out of four behind another sharp performance from a rotation that ranks second in the majors in ERA. Gray is 2-0 with a 0.53 ERA. Giolito gave up one run in six innings and dropped to 0-1. Gray pitched through an upper respiratory virus. Twins shortstop Kyle Farmer was hit in the face by a pitch from Giolito and is scheduled for oral surgery. Mariners 5, Cubs 2 – Kelenic’s 482-foot homer helps Mariners beat Cubs 5-2 Logan Gilbert pitched 6 2/3 innings of four-hit ball, Teoscar Hernández and Jarred Kelenic hit consecutive home runs in the eighth and the Seattle Mariners snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Chicago Cubs 5-2. Kelenic’s homer landed in the upper center field bleachers and traveled 482 feet, the second-longest at Wrigley Field since Statcast began tracking in 2015 and trailing only Willson Contreras’ 491-footer in Game 4 of the 2017 NL Championship Series.

Happ agreed in January to a $10.85 million, one-year contract. His new deal calls for a $3 million signing bonus payable June 1 and salaries of $20 million in both 2024 and 2025, and $18 million in 2026.

MLB – MLB teams extend beer sales after pitch clock shortens games Thanks to the pitch clock, the action is moving much faster at Major League Baseball games. It also means a little less time for fans to enjoy a frosty adult beverage. To combat that time crunch, at least four teams — the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers — have extended alcohol sales through the eighth inning this season. Teams historically have stopped selling alcohol after the seventh. MLB games have been considerably shorter this season, largely thanks to a series of rule changes.

Full Circle Café in Stevensville approved for outdoor seating amid ‘serious financial challenges’
Outdoor dining is returning once again to Full Circle Café downtown Stevensville. Village trustees this week approved the café to use two parking spaces outside its storefront from May 1st to November 1st. The cost of renting the two spaces increased from $75 to $200 this year. The decision comes as Full Circle is experiencing “serious financial challenges,” according to their Facebook page. Last Friday, owners Jayme and Ryan Bendoski asked the community for their help as they try to keep the business open: We could really use your help right now. For nearly 7 years, we have been blessed to serve this amazing community, and through every obstacle (and there have been many), there have been SO MANY lessons. It seems we are in the middle of yet another learning curve as we currently find ourselves facing some serious financial challenges. We are doing everything in our power to keep our business OPEN and trying to turn things around quickly from the inside out, (i.e., connecting with all of the resources we can find, cutting payroll costs, updating our menu offerings, looking at new ways to serve you, etc.). Frankly, we are making changes to our business model that we should have made a long time ago, but you know what they say about hindsight. In the meantime, we ask that you send us positive vibes, along with sending as much business our way as you possibly can. We promise to keep you in the loop every step of the way, and we invite you to communicate with us your feedback as we try to find our way through this. Your opinion matters so much. We’d like to thank the wonderful humans we work with for sticking by us during this uncertain time. We’re asking a lot of our Full Circle Crew right now. We’ve even had to let some really great people go this week. It has not been easy. We ask that you give our team (past and present) lots of smiles and kudos if you have the opportunity. They really are extraordinary people. Every single one of them. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the opportunity to be a part of both your daily routines and your special moments over the years. It has been our greatest honor. Since then, they say they have been overwhelmed by the support, but still have a long way to go in turning things around. “Thank you so much for your support over the past few days,” a post on Wednesday said. “We’re taking things day by day, and we continue to be inspired by all of the love you’re sending as we work to turn things around over here. You are SO appreciated.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
