The Tigers weren’t exactly outclassed on Tuesday, but when it came down to the pressure situations late in the game, the Cincinnati Reds were just the better team on this night. They scored a run in the 10th inning, and the Tigers did not, and that was the difference as they dropped the series opener 6-5 to the Reds.
With Joey Wentz’s struggles this year in mind, it was good to see the Tigers jump out to a lead for him in the opener with the Cincinnati Reds at Comerica Park. Unfortunately, it didn’t help the big lefty settle in and finally put together a solid outing.
