Tigers' Pitching Shuts Out Rays

Game 78 @ TB

Jim Leyland surely loved the "0" under the runs column for the opposition, but I bet that he wanted to use fewer pitchers. The Tigers used 5 guys out of the bullpen to cover 3 innings. Doug Fister left after 6 for one of his shortest outings in recent memory.

Thankfully, the offense came through for the Tigers. The game looked like a sure pitcher's duel early. Miguel Cabrera homered in his first at bat; Andre Ethier and Alex Avila homered later in the game.
