After riding high from their three-game sweep against the White Sox to open the season, the Tigers headed to New York to take on a team struggling to get their first W of the year, in the New York Mets. The pitching matchup saw Sean Manaea take on Reese Olson. Manaea was incredibly dialed in with a perfect game through four until he walked Riley Greene in the fifth, a tight performance that overshadowed a relatively strong start from Olson.
Let’s take a look at the classic pitcher’s duel (at least through 6) at Citi Field.
The Tigers went 1-2-3 quickly in the top of the first, showing that Manaea was not planning to give an inch.
