Detroit — Alex Faedo was looking to make his case to stay in the Tigers’ rotation.
After the right-hander was called up from Toledo and stifled the Padres in a spot start on July 23, Faedo was sent back down. A wild 10-day stretch ensued leading up to the Aug. 1 trade deadline and Faedo ended up making his next start at Double-A Erie before he found his way back to Detroit.
“I do think this guy deserves a runway, to get a few starts in a row,” manager AJ Hinch said before Wednesday’s 9-5 win against the AL Central-leading Twins at Comerica Park.
