It is the end of May, and prime afternoon baseball weather is here. A spot-start for the White Sox and a very average right-handed pitcher on the mound for the Tigers means that surely we were in for a lot of offense.
You would be wrong.
After an inning-and-a-half of quiet baseball, Detroit’s Andy Ibáñez broke an 0-for-32 drought and drove in Akil Badoo for the first run of the game. You hate to be the pitcher to allow a hit after a drought that long, but sometimes you have to be that guy.
Also in the bottom of the second, Clint Frazier made a diving grab to get Zach McKinstry.
