So, as it turns out, while folks have been busy paying attention to the Braves, the Marlins have quietly been pretty good in the AL East. I say this only because the Marlins have perennially been a team predicted to end up at the bottom of their division, and when the Tigers rolled into tonight, it was very apparent just how different third place in a division can look when you’re outside the AL Central.
The Tigers did manage to make it close, though.
The pitching matchup was Reese Olson versus Braxton Garrett.
Garrett allowed a one-out single to Riley Greene to start the first, but the Tigers would have to settle for one baserunner.
