A well-rested Tigers team faced off against the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night for the first of a two-game short series, and with some thunderstorms interrupting the proceedings, a pitcher’s duel produced a 1-0 Tigers victory in 11 innings; a walk-off single from Derek Hill earning the Tigers a victory.
Wily Peralta faced Freddy Peralta, and according to our research, the two are not related. Wily, coming off a pair of good-but-not-great four-inning starts against the A’s and Pirates, had his splitter going in the first inning, striking out Kolten Wong to start the game.
