Jordan Zimmermann's 'terrible' start continues trend; Tigers lose in Chicago, 7-3

CHICAGO – Jordan Zimmermann is healthy.

The Detroit Tigers’ veteran right-hander has not reported any soreness in his neck that prevented him from pitching like the pitcher the team thought they signed before last season.

But his neck might be a little sore after his latest start.

Zimmermann kept turning around to watch baseballs fly over the fence at Guaranteed Rate Field this afternoon, allowing three more home runs as the White Sox beat the Tigers, 7-3.

“Terrible,” he said. “It’s frustrating. … They brought me over here to be a big-time pitcher and I’m not doing that right now.
