The third game of the Cleveland-Detroit series, of which the Cleves took the first two, featured solid pitching and defense all around. The Tigers snapped their four-game losing streak by beating Cleveland 1-0, with Michael Fulmer picking up the win in relief.
Toeing the slab for the Buckeyes was the young Triston McKenzie, who’s had an up-and-down year. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because on August 22 last year, against the Tigers in his major-league debut, he pitched six innings and struck out 10. McKenzie came into the game tonight leading the American League in walks, with 30 in 31 1⁄3 innings.
