After a “too little, too late” comeback attempt on Friday night, the Tigers and the Future-Guardians started the second game of their three-game series about an hour late due to some rain passing through the area. When that stopped, the Tiger bullpen pulled off a magic act that would’ve made David Copperfield proud, stranding a whole bunch of runners and securing the 2-1 victory. If you have any fingernails left after this one, you did better than I.
Tyler Alexander’s rotation tenure contined tonight, and he was looking to build on his longest outing (by pitches; 67) on August 1 against Baltimore.
