ARLINGTON -- This is the negative side of the Tigers going young in their bullpen.
Jeff Ferrell, who was called up Monday from Triple-A Toledo, was the eighth Tigers pitcher in Wednesday's 12-6 loss, as he labored through the top of the Rangers lineup trying to get the final out of the eighth inning. Warwick Saupold, who threw 34 pitches the night before, was the only reliever left. Utility man Andrew Romine, one of three players on the Tigers' bench, was an option to pitch if Ferrell's pitch count ran high.
