Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo, the No. 18 overall pick in the 2017 draft, took a step forward in his second MLB start.
He completed five innings of two-run ball. And the 26-year-old looked comfortable while doing so.
Unlike Game 1, the offense didn't provide run support in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader. Oakland Athletics righty starter Adrian Martinez, making his MLB debut, countered Faedo's efforts by pitching into the sixth inning.
The Tigers lost, 4-1, and split the doubleheader at Comerica Park.
After Martinez finished 5u2153 scoreless innings, three Athletics kept the zeros on the scoreboard coming.
