Boy, what a difference it makes when the Tigers face teams outside the AL East. After getting swept by the Orioles, the Tigers won the series opener in Milwaukee and looked to lock up the series in game 2. With a bit of power from Kerry Carpenter and another great night from the bullpen, they got it done, taking this one 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Here’s how it all went down.
AJ Hinch elected to bench as many lefties as he could against Brewers’ southpaw Eric Lauer, and it paid off as they worked at-bats and drove up his pitch count quickly while squaring up the ball with regularity.
