DETROIT -- Ron Gardenhire and Paul Molitor talked about the pros and cons of the bullpen start long before batting practice Monday afternoon. Hours later, the combination of Twins "opener" Gabriel Moya and Kohl Stewart held Detroit to very little production, sending the Tigers to a 6-1 loss Monday night at Comerica Park.
It's still not an idea Gardenhire particularly favors, but the Tigers manager appreciates the value after watching teams have success with it, including the Twins.
"It's something everybody's going to look into," Gardenhire said before the game.
