Ok, the Detroit Tigers looked bad for much of today’s rubber match against the Boston Red Sox. Real bad. The kind of bad that you know you shouldn’t take much away from, because we’re only six games into the season, but the vibe is too lousy to ignore. Like no one really wanted to play today. That kind of bad. So after getting shellacked for 6 1⁄2 innings, it was at least good to see some fight after getting embarrassed for much of the contest.
More importantly, it was good to see Spencer Torkelson smoothly crush an Austin Davis fastball into the seats in left for the first home run of his major league career!
