The Tigers’ series against Oakland A’s has come to an end. It was a rollercoaster three-game series for the Tigers. While it was a good sight to see Tarik Skubal and Eduardo Rodriguez back on the mound, Detroit lost both games in a humiliating fashion. The Tigers lost game one 1-0 in extra-innings and got destroyed in game two, losing 12-3. Game three was a completely different story. Tigers starter Michael Lorenzen was terrific on the mound this afternoon. He pitched five scoreless innings, gave up three hits, zero R, zero ER, zero BB, had four K’s, threw 60 pitches, and 40 were strikes. Jake Marisnick, Kerry Carpenter and Javier Baez led the way offensively for Detroit.
Following the win Detroit made a number of roster moves and had a pitcher claimed off waivers.
