We got another close, well pitched game on Saturday evening. Blue Jays’ starter Alek Manoah was dominant, but the Tigers tied it up late, only to lose in 10 innings, evening the series at a game apiece.
The Tigers pitching plan for this one was to start things off with a short outing from Jose Ureña, and then turn to Tyler Alexander to take it as far as possible. The first part of the plan went great.
Ureña spun three brisk innings without allowing a run. Considering he’s been sidelined the better part of two months, his command was sharp, and we saw some glimpses of the good slider he featured early in the season and lost as injuries took their toll.
