"I think our team so far has performed as expected," Avila told members of the Detroit Economic Club on Wednesday during the Tigers' annual luncheon with the club. "We knew we were going to have good starting pitching. We knew we were going to be good offensively. We knew we were going to struggle a little bit with the bullpen as we first started, and we're hoping to get it on track."
