Tigers 9, Twins 5: Torkbombs for all!
After splitting the first two games of their four-game weekday series in Detroit against the Minnesota Twins, the Tigers built on Tuesday’s shutout win with second nice, nearly complete performance in a row in a 9-6 victory... but it got a little too close at the end.
Getting the start for Detroit tonight was Alex Faedo. Coming into tonight’s game his 2023 numbers don’t look so bad: 7.6 and 2.0 K’s and BB’s per nine innings, and a WHIP of 1.037. But he’d given up 7 home runs in only 35\u2154 innings, which isn’t going to help anybody except your opponents. Also, according to Baseball Reference, his last name is pronounced “fie-a-dough”... I think I’ve been hitting the “e” a little too hard.
