Detroit — Tigers president Scott Harris said at his introductory press conference last September that there would be an emphasis on dominating the strike zone.
At this point, nine games into the season, they might settle for simply commanding it.
The Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Tigers at Comerica Park on Sunday with a 4-1 victory, with walked batters scoring two of those runs.
In the Tigers’ 14-6 loss Saturday, five walked runners scored in the first three innings. Two walked runners scored in the 6-3 loss in the home opener Thursday.
