This was a really good pitching duel until Tyler Holton crumbled to dust in the ninth.
This was a tense 1-0 game all afternoon, but the Tigers bullpen went full Chernobyl in the ninth inning to blow any chance of a comeback and then go on to turn this into a rout for Kansas City.
For seven innings, we got an excellent pitching duel between two of the highest spin breaking ball pitchers in the game. Reese Olson’s slider and Seth Lugo’s power...
