The Tigers have used 14 different pitchers in the last two games, which seems excessive.
On Tuesday night, the Tigers-Rays game lasted a little over five hours. Thirteen innings were played, but it was the sixth and seventh innings that were the most intriguing. Tigers' manager Brad Ausmus used six pitchers to get six outs in those innings -- starter Matt Boyd, Al Alburquerque, Tom Gorzelanny, Neftali Feliz, Blaine Hardy and Alex Wilson. Gorzelanny was the only one who got more than one out, while Boyd and Feliz failed to get anyone out in those innings.
