Toronto – Trey Wingenter stood before his locker Wednesday night and tried to make some sense out of what had just happened.
The 6-7 right-hander hadn’t had a big-league save in four years. Before winning a job with the Tigers out of spring training, he hadn’t even thrown a pitch in the big-leagues since 2019. But there he was in the ninth inning trying to protect a 3-1 lead, trying to stop a five-game losing streak for his team and having to go through the heart of the Blue Jays’ lineup.
“I feel like the boys were in a position to win a game,” he said, after the Tigers were walked off by the Blue Jays 4-3 in 10 innings.
