Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull spoke to himself.
A lot.
Way too many times to count, way too many words to comprehend. He chattered out loud most in the seventh inning. He later admitted he didn't have his best stuff, but it was obvious. Understand this: He was really good, just not at his best. But there he was, trotting back out to become the first Tigers starter this season to make it into the seventh.
