Tigers’ Justin Wilson off to another hot start

Detroit – Justin Wilson needed only 11 pitches Saturday to dispatch the three Red Sox hitters and earn his second career save.

It was a dynamic performance.

* First hitter, Jackie Bradley, Jr. – 96 mph fastball, 97 mph fastball, 94 mph cutter, 97 mph fastball, fly out to left.

* Second hitter, Chris Young – 96 mph fastball, 89 mph change-up, 86 mph slider, 97 mph fastball, strike out swinging.

* Third hitter, Steve Selsky – 97, 97, 97, strikeout looking.

“That was as well as I’ve seen him pitch,” manager Brad Ausmus said.
