Tigers 3, Guardians 0: Pitching Chaos brings Cleveland to the brink

Comerica Park hosted its first playoff game in a decade on Wednesday afternoon, and the home crowd saw the Tigers throw their second consecutive combined shutout on a crisp October day, winning 3-0 to take a 2-1 lead in their American League Division Series. It was also their second consecutive 3-0 victory. I can dig it.

Tigers manager AJ Hinch’s “pitching chaos” approach spun the wheel and landed on righty Keider Montero to get things started, and Brant Hurter, a lefty, to take over afterwards... but when? That was the question only Hinch had the answer too, and Guardians manager Steven Vogt had to find out the hard way.
