That Royals series sure was awful. What a stinker of a sweep. Largely lifeless hitting, lousy pitching. Would a little home-cookin’ cure those Kansas City blues?
Well, whatever they were eating on the road, they must’ve taken the leftovers home with ‘em because the Tigers dropped their fifth consecutive game, 9-1 against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Taking the mound for the Tigers on Thursday night was Jack Flaherty, making his tenth start. Aside from Tarik Skubal, I’d say Flaherty has been the best starter on the team — and since late April he’s been almost lights-out good.
