After clinching a series win against the Pirates with the day-game opener on Thursday afternoon, the early-evening nightcap started and ended late, and a scrappy comeback was all for naught as the Tigers dropped the season finale 8-4 in 10 innings.
Playing the role of Opener today was Tyler Holton, and in the role of Bulk Guy was Keider Montero. As we all know, Holton has been less effective this year in comparison to last year — but, you may also be interested to know that Holton’s ERAs for April/May/June of 2024 were 5.40/3.52/3.29, so he started off last year far less of a shutdown reliever than he became later in the season.
