On a mild summer afternoon in Detroit, the Tigers and Angels wrapped up their three game set. Detroit took the first two games, extending their longest winning streak in a few years to six straight. The Angels, inversely, had lost seven straight going into this one and were desperate to break stem the bleeding. They would ultimately be successful in that goal.
Taking the mound for the Tigers was 24 year old right-handed rookie Keider Montero. His numbers aren’t the greatest on the season (5.15 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 21BB in 64.2 innings), but he’s shown serious flashes of great stuff with great inconsistency.
