The finale of a four-game series between Baltimore and Detroit saw a lockdown performance from the bullpen and some timely, workmanlike hitting, and a 6-2 victory secured a split of the quartet of contests. Today’s game wasn’t flashy, but it made you feel pretty satisfied afterwards — you know, like a good meatloaf dinner.
Spenser Watkins started for the O’s, and if that name sounds familiar, you probably follow Tiger prospects. Watkins made his fifth start of his major league career today, after being drafted by Detroit out of Western Oregon in the 30th round in 2014. He eventually made it up to Toledo for AAA stints in 2018 and 2019, but was cut loose by the Tiger organization in 2020.
