Detroit — After watching the Padres’ hitters launch five home runs and score 19 runs in the two previous games, Alex Faedo made a business decision.
Just called back up from Triple-A Toledo to make the spot start Sunday, Faedo seemed steadfastly opposed to the center of the strike zone. He was on a mission to burn the edges of the strike zone, even if it meant a few more walks.
Mission accomplished.
Faedo blanked the Padres over six innings, helping the Tigers salvage the finale, 3-1, in front of 24,523 at Comerica Park.
