CLEVELAND — Left-hander Joey Wentz, a member of Triple-A Toledo's roster Thursday, joined the Detroit Tigers as the 27th player for Friday's doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians, and he didn't have to wait too long to see some action: The Tigers started Wentz in Game 2.
Wentz, who entered Friday's appearance with a 7.03 ERA in 18 games, delivered his first scoreless start of the season, completing five innings. But Tigers relievers Andrew Vasquez and José Cisnero allowed four runs in the eighth inning for a 4-1 loss to the Guardians in Game 2 at Progressive Field.
