While most Detroit Tigers fans just assume that the team’s young bounty of starting pitchers still resides in the minor leagues, that statement is only partly true. Yes, the likes of Casey Mize and Matt Manning are toiling away at Double-A Erie and Beau Burrows is in Toledo, but two starting pitchers have made their mark at the major-league level.
These two starters are righty Spencer Turnbull and lefty Tyler Alexander, the latter of whom threw seven crisp innings of one-run ball against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon.
