Needing to break a six-game losing streak on Saturday night in LA, the Detroit Tigers turned to a rookie starter and another dominant night from the bullpen, earning a 5-1 win over the Dodgers. Beau Brieske’s five innings of one-run ball against a great lineup took center stage, but this was really the kind of quality team effort that has been lacking lately.
So, this one saw Beau Brieske, a 27th rounder in 2019 who reinvented himself during the 2020 off year and burst on our radar as a surprisingly strong prospect only last June, take on a legend who is still a very good starting pitcher in Clayton Kershaw.
