Detroit — Count lefty Matt Hall among the growing number of pitchers in the Tigers organization singing the praises of Toledo Mud Hens’ pitching coach Juan Nieves.
“He’s done it, he’s left-handed and he’s got an excellent mind,” said Hall, whom the Tigers brought up Tuesday to serve as the 26th man for the double-header against the White Sox at Comerica Park. “He has a cure for everything, and if he doesn’t have one he won’t sleep until he gets one.
“And then he will bring it to the field the next day and he’s there bright and early before you are and he didn’t even sleep.
