The flaws remain obvious, but the Detroit Tigers are getting it done recently. They missed some chances in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader with Cleveland, but when they needed a hero, Kerry Carpenter was there. The Tigers’ outfielder remained red-hot, launching a solo shot into the seats in right field for the club’s four straight win, and the third in a row in walk-off fashion. Wild.
There are two classic types of Matthew Boyd outings. In one, he gets rocked right out of the gate, and then eventually settles in to give his team some innings.
