We’ve been pretty frustrated with the Tigers lack of high leverage relief this season, but with the pitching staff racked with injuries it’s impressive that they continue to keep them in games. Problem is the lineup is full of Triple-A players again, and the Giants had little trouble shutting them down on Saturday to take a 2-0 lead in the three-game series.
Another day, another bullpen game as A.J. Hinch and Chris Fetter continue to deal with a pitching staff shot full of holes. Meanwhile things keep getting worse for the lineup as well. Wenceel Pérez hit the injured list with an abdominal strain after Friday night’s game, and Akil Baddoo had to fly to San Francisco early in the morning, presumably getting little or no sleep to get to the game on time.
