The Detroit Tigers needed a huge performance on Friday, and they got that and then some by one-hitting the Baltimore Orioles.
Throughout the majority of the second half of the year, the Tigers have utilized a funky pitching plan with their ace Tarik Skubal and rising star rookie Keider Montero being their only true starters until Casey Mize returned from the injured list.
But without either Skubal or Montero for this massive matchup against the Orioles, many people figured this might be the point in their season where Detroit would lose games they needed to win and be on the outside of the playoffs looking in for good.
The left-handed rookie pitched 5.2 innings in just his eighth career Major League appearance, striking out eight batters in a lineup that is full of dangerous hitters.
