Detroit — You know the cliché, you can never have enough pitching?
It’s not a cliché to the Tigers, it’s a painful reality.
As you may have heard, four-fifths of the Tigers original starting rotation is on the injured list. Two of the top starters at Triple-A Toledo are also on the injured list. The Tigers had a starter finish six innings once in the last seven games.
“There’s a lot of unknown variables, lots of conversation going on as we try to right this ship,” manager Ron Gardenhire said before the Houston Astros put an 11-4 hurt on the Tigers Tuesday.
