I don’t know about you, but if the Tigers simply never played another game against a team in California, I’d be fine with it. Whether the Tigers are bottom of the barrel or playoff-bound, it seems as if they can never quite get a handle on the Angels, especially (I won’t talk about the Giants, now or ever).
The Tigers opted for a bullpen game for Saturday night’s outing, but with an already taxed bullpen, they needed a good start from Wily Peralta, who had not started in a game since 2017. Considering how long it had been since his last start, Peralta did.
