Live Tigers blog: Sanchez makes first relief appearance

Top 8th: Tigers 9, Blue Jays 0

Anibal Sanchez made his debut out of the Tigers bullpen in the eighth inning and was able to set Toronto down in order.

Sanchez struck out Kevin Pillar, got Darwin Barney to ground out to the shortstop and Ezequiel Carrera to fly out to left field.

In my opinion, I don't think Sanchez will be in the bullpen for very long unless Matt Boyd, Mike Pelfrey or Daniel Norris really perform well over the next month in those last two starter spots behind Justin Verlander, Jordan Zimmerman and Michael Fulmer.
