Apologies for the delay in this recap. The family is out for a few days to visit and see The Rolling Stones on Tuesday night, so my afternoon was spent entertaining. Not that you really need a detailed description of what happened yesterday if you glanced at the final score. Masahiro Tanaka was way off, the Tigers hitters crushed him (particularly the Martinezes), and they put a sour note on the end of an otherwise positive series.
It didn’t take long for Tanaka’s command issues to surface. With 2 outs in the top of the 1st, Miguel Cabrera singled to keep the inning going.
