Homer Bailey’s first start back with the Cincinnati Reds after a knee issue sent him to the 10-day DL was a promising one, as he fired 6.2 innings of 2 ER, 8 K ball on 115 pitches against the St. Louis Cardinals. How he fared after that, though, was what we were all looking towards to see if it was merely a fluke after his brutal start to the season.
The Detroit Tigers are in rebuild mode and aren’t exactly the most formidable team in the game, but Homer didn’t mince pitches while largely breezing through their lineup on Tuesday, however.
