Sharpe (1-0) earned the win in his first game as a Tiger in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader. The right-hander allowed just two hits, no runs and two walks with eight strikeouts in five innings pitched. In the nightcap, Sharpe got the start as the Tigers’ designated hitter, hitting two homers and driving in all three runs in the 4-3 loss to the Jags.
