The opener of a three-game mid-week interleague series against the New York Mets in Detroit was postponed from a rainy Tuesday night to a slightly less rainy Wednesday afternoon. When it finally did get underway, a drizzle-drenched slugfest broke out early on before the Tigers ultimately got a huge two-run single in the eighth from Eric Haase that led them to a 6-5 victory.
Joey Wentz got the nod for the Tigers today, in his sixth start of the year. It’s been a rough go so far in the 2023 season; a typical start appears to be five innings or so, giving up three or four runs.
