Tigers Crush Jays
Tigers 10 Blue Jays 1 That was less than fun. We’ve done well on bullpen days, but the problem with bullpen days is if it doesn’t go to plan, you can’t really change on the fly. If a pitcher is having a bad day, you really have to use him anyway. Especially if it is […]
On September 15, 2026, the Detroit Tigers faced off against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. The Tigers emerged victorious with a final score of 10 to 1. The game was not without its challenges, particularly for pitcher Michael Lorenzen, who was expected to be the "bulk guy" - the pitcher who would provide the majority of the innings. However, Lorenzen struggled, allowing four runs in only two outs before being pulled from the game.
Despite Lorenzen's poor performance, the Tigers found some relief in the pitching rotation. Braydon Fisher and Brendan Cellucci both pitched well, with Fisher getting the first four outs and Cellucci pitching five strong innings. Spencer Arrighetti, however, struggled with two unearned runs, one of which came from a catcher's interference and a throwing error. Joe Mantiply also added to the Tigers' woes with two more runs given up in the ninth inning.
Offensively, the Tigers struggled, with just six singles driving in a single run. The only bright spot was an incredible play by second baseman Ernie Clement, who made a diving stop, caught a popup and executed a throw to complete a double play.
Looking ahead, tomorrow's game kicks off at 3:00 Eastern time. Max Scherzer (2-8, 6.38) will take the mound for the Tigers against Keider Montero (9-8, 3.55) for the Blue Jays. A win on this day would be welcome, as would an overall better performance from the team.
