Jake Junis talks about his success Sunday against Detroit.

“We go in against them with a pretty good game plan every time,” Junis said of the Tigers. “We’ve executed it every time. They didn’t have some of their guys that might give us some trouble. But we were attacking. The slider was working, had a lot of strikeouts, strikeouts in big situations.”

Whit Merrifield tied a career-high with three stolen bases on Sunday.

Jason Adam discusses making his Major League debut with his hometown team.

“It was just a surreal moment,” Adam said. “I had a lot of people tell me to really take it in on your jog in, and I did. It’s hard to explain.

Rustin Dodd talks to Danny Duffy about his early season struggles.

We’ve been back in the stretch a little bit more than out of the windup. I think I was a little bit too consumed if I was tipping or not out of the stretch. There’s nothing really as far as delivery [changes] goes. I figured out what I was doing that was possibly giving away what I was throwing. But we fixed that. There’s been a ton of mishits, outside of the fourth inning in Boston the other day. But I just feel like we gave it a shot, tried to make adjustments; I’ll probably be ultimately going out of the stretch.
