Detroit — Maybe in a couple of weeks, when the sting subsides, everybody will be able to look back on Alex Wilson’s early struggles and laugh.
It’ll be like, “Remember after that Friday the 13th game against the Yankees? When Shane Greene sent that text that said, ‘I don’t know how you pissed the Baseball Gods off, but say you’re sorry and let’s go.’”
By then Wilson will have shaken off whatever bad ju-ju is ruining these early outings and gotten back to being his reliable self in the Tigers’ bullpen. For now, though, especially after giving up two runs in the eighth inning Friday, this isn’t funny.
