The Tigers still didn't give Reese Olson much run support, but he was excellent yet again and this time the bullpen held on to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead in the series.
Last time on the mound, we saw Reese Olson get drilled in the hip by Michael Massey of the Royals. While reports quickly dismissed any injuries other than a bruise, it took a few days to know if he’d be good to go in taking his next turn in the rotation. Turns out, he’s just fine. Olson continued his outstanding performance this season with another strong outing in which he had the Blue Jays frustrated all afternoon.
