Detroit Tigers Pitcher Named Minor League Pitcher of the Week

Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate, the Toledo Mud Hens, have started off the season going 4-11. Not an ideal start to the 2025 campaign. They went 2-4 last week against the Iowa Cubs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, and were outscored 26-12. They allowed an average of 4.3 runs per game while only scoring two runs per game. The big takeaway is pitcher Keider Montero, who picked up a win this week in his lone start, going 5.2 shutout innings; he didn’t allow a hit. He didn’t issue a walk and struck out six. That performance gave him Player of the Week honors in the International League. Montero is 1-1 with a 2.79 ERA, a 0.72 WHIP, and 11 strikeouts in 9.2 innings this season. Toledo will face the Indianapolis Indians this week, with that series starting tomorrow.

Yankees Drop Game One in Familiar Fashion

The Yankees didn’t lose to Boston because of talent—they lost because of mistakes. Four errors, nine walks, and ten stranded runners turned a winnable game into a 6–3 defeat. Sloppy play has been the defining trait of their season, and it’s starting to bury their postseason hopes.
