I’m just going to get this out of the way early: Joey Wentz is not a reliable big-league pitcher and against any other club, the way he performed today would have resulted in a much more skewed scoreboard. It was just not ideal, and the Tigers are going to need to take a long look at their rotation this postseason and see about finding some new arms.
Wentz was not actually the game’s starter, though he did take the bulk of the innings. Miguel Diaz took the first inning and a third before Wentz came out of the pen.
