For the better part of five innings, Anibal Sanchez put doubters to shame on Monday night in Seattle. Called back up to the big league roster after a stint in Toledo, Sanchez brought with him the normal round of gnashing of teeth that comes with his every appearance.
And like we’ve come to expect, what the starting pitcher did meant little to the outcome, for the bullpen blew it yet again. The Tigers lost by insert score here. Look, it really doesn’t matter, does it?
Sanchez went five innings. He was hit by a comebacker on the left calf to open the fifth.
