The Detroit Tigers have not swept a series since early April, but that looked as if it might change on Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. The Tigers were up by six runs at one point in the third innings, but the Pirates managed to climb their way back to an 8-7 win, splitting the quick two-game series at one game apiece.
Detroit’s starter Jordan Zimmermann didn’t have an amazing night in his first start back from the IL, but it wasn’t his worst. The righty surrendered three runs on five hits in four innings, but considering Wednesday was his first big league start since late April, he was pulled after just four innings.
