The Tigers fell to the Nationals 6-4 in the rubbermatch from DC on Sunday afternoon. In what is becoming an unfortunate theme, at no point in his start was Joey Wentz able to get consistent outs. The Tigers went down 6-1 early, and despite scratching across a few more runs, couldn’t come up with the big hit when they had opportunities for big innings.
For Wentz, the very first pitch he threw of the afternoon ended up as a single to left field, and it really only got worse from there. He surrendered four hits and two runs before even recording an out, with the Nationals getting their runs courtesy of singles from Joey Meneses and Stone Garrett.
