Today’s game was brought to you by old friends, with former Tigers’ pitcher Tyler Alexander on the bump for the Brewers and former Tigers’ catcher Eric Haase on the bench (and appearing later on in the eighth). The Tigers were enthused for another Tarik Skubal outing and he did not disappoint. They were helped by an abysmal Brewers defense, but everything counts.
In the first, Gleyber Torres took a one-out walk. Then Andy Ibanez doubled, bringing in the first run of the game for the Tigers. Dillon Dingler got a two-out double to score Ibanez, and the Tigers were up 2-0 in the first.
