The Tigers’ push towards the American League Championship Series would have to wait until another day, as Game 4 of their Division Series was won by Cleveland, 5-4.
Reese Olson, the Baby-Faced Assassin, started for the Tigers. He came into Game 1 of this ALDS with none out in the first inning after Tyler Holton had a bad outing as an opener — and, really, if you Porcello-out the first pitch he threw, he did pretty well in five innings. He’s been building his stamina throughout September and October, starting off with 50 pitches and gradually going upwards.
