Tigers News
The Detroit Tigers dropped an 8-6 decision to the Boston Red Sox on Patriots' Day, splitting the four-game series and leaving Fenway Park with a mix of frustration and questions. Jack Flaherty, who previously showed promise with his command, faltered today, unable to find the strike zone early in the game, while Drew Anderson's troubling performance raises alarms about the bullpen's depth. On the other hand, Wenceel Pérez's struggles have sparked discussions about potential replacements, with Corey Julks emerging as a viable option. The tight hamstring that sidelined Red Sox starter Sonny Gray adds to the day's drama, but it’s the Tigers’ inconsistent pitching and inability to maintain momentum that continues to haunt them as they prepare to face the Red Sox again.
