Well, things were looking pretty good until the late innings, and that has generally spelled success for the Tigers this year. However, a recent stretch of rough outings from the bullpen and too many mistakes on the field from a team that isn’t going to give itself many large margins for error all combined to lose this one in 10 innings. The Tigers will come home on Friday after a 1-5 road swing that felt like a cold splash of reality to the face.
The game didn’t start off an more auspiciously than it ended. RHP Tanner Bibee retired the first six Tigers he saw, while Reese Olson struggled with his command a bit.
