Toronto – There was a point after the game Friday night when Tigers rookie reliever Reed Garrett started to feel guilty for the big smile on his face, for feeling so good after a loss. But, in all honesty, no jury would ever convict him for that – not on that night.
Garrett, whom the Tigers took in the Rule 5 draft from the Rangers, made his big-league debut, pitching a clean eighth inning in the 6-0 loss to the Blue Jays.
“I felt like I had been warming up for 10 years,” he said on Saturday morning.
