With an expected bullpen-only game Sunday, the Detroit Tigers may have forced themselves to make a call to Triple-A Toledo for pitching reinforcements.
The Tigers (26-37) sent five pitchers and two position players to the mound during Saturday's 15-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox in the second of a three-game series.
The seven pitchers combined for 223 pitches, allowing 15 runs on 13 hits and 11 walks. The Tigers decided to give Matthew Boyd — initially lined up to pitch Sunday — an extra day to rest, so he will pitch Monday against the Kansas City Royals.
