Matt Wisler/Tommy Milone vs. Spencer Turnbull, 10:10am
Yesterday’s loss was a dispiriting one, as they were held in check by Edwin Jackson, someone who I thought was completely cooked when Toronto let him go a month or so ago. They couldn’t mount a challenge against Detroit’s less-than-stellar bullpen, and while Marco Gonzales battled, giving up 3 early runs on this team isn’t praiseworthy. These is why playing Detroit is tricky: win, and it’s “well, yeah, it’s just Detroit.” Lose and it’s a huge red flag.
Jay Jaffe has a good post at FG today on the Tigers run at history – the kind you really don’t want to run towards.
