Tigers @ Pirates Game #9

Not trying to be a dic but when nathan is ready to come back can soria still be the closer

On the bright side, despite Nathan more than likely remaining the closer, Soria's performance in the closer role probably shortened Nathan's leash.
 
In 9 games, Tigers starters have allowed just 11 earned runs in 61 2/3 combined innings pitched.

Yeah, right. This is the same management that thought Phil Coke had nasty stuff(an actual quote, can't remember from who). Brad Ausmus is fucking clueless. He's worse than Leyland when it comes to picking his bros. He remembers Nathan as the guy he faced all those years.. not as the guy who should be a pitching coach in AAA.
 
Tonight's outing was Simon's first career start of eight innings with zero earned runs. He has never pitched into the ninth inning as a starter.

The Tigers are the fifth MLB team since 1914 to record four shutouts in their first nine games. The Oakland A's have already accomplished that feat this year.

The Tigers lead baseball with five starting pitching performances of eight innings or more with zero runs allowed.

The Tigers have won each of their first three series in a season for the first time since 1984.

Jose Iglesias did not strike out until his 30th plate appearance of 2015. It was just his second swing-and-miss of the season.
