Nothing explosive happened in this one. Instead, the Tigers executed well when needed, putting together tough at-bat after tough at-bat against Cleveland pitching. Meanwhile, starter Julio Teheran and the rebuild Tigers bullpen were up to the task as they led the club to a 5-2 win on a nice Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park.
Tigers fans got a good look at some of the differences between the 2021 lineup and what we’ve seen the past few seasons, and it didn’t take long. As they did in the opener, they got to a good Indians’ starting pitcher right from the jump.
