Who wins when an anemic offense meets lousy starting pitching? Apparently the offense, as Ivan Nova gave up eight runs in 3 1/3 innings in an eventual 10-5 loss to the Cleveland ball club.
Aaron Civale is a Cleves starting pitcher, so this year that means he’s been very solid. He wasn’t quite as dominant this time around, but it was enough: six innings, four runs, one walk, and a partridge in a pear tree. I’ll ask you this: how much would you pay for a start like that from a Tiger not named Spencer Turnbull?
