Anibal Sanchez pitched well during his last start, until the fourth inning, when he promptly lost control and gave up four runs.
The Detroit Tigers’ pitcher fought injuries the last couple of seasons. Now he is fighting himself. We saw it in that fourth inning Wednesday in Cleveland, when he couldn’t find the consistent delivery motion he was seeking.
The uncertainty that has dogged Sanchez this year — he has tried to lessen his hip turn before he throws — has dogged the Tigers’ rotation, too. But it’s not just Sanchez.
It’s Justin Verlander. It’s Mike Pelfrey.
