Toledo — A swear word stand-in for most of us, “Holy Toledo” might just be straight up vulgarity to Kyle Funkhouser.
The Tigers right-handed pitching prospect has passed the test at every level except with the Triple-A Mud Hens, where his struggles continued Friday night at Fifth Third Field.
Once a candidate to head north with the Tigers out of spring training, Funkhouser still is stuck in Ohio, close but so far from Detroit — depending on how you look at it.
“To be honest, with how bad the season’s been for me, it’s really easy to not think about it,” Funkhouser said of a final promotion someday.
