Tigers Make Move on Relief Pitcher After Rough Outing vs. Reds originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers dropped their second game in three tries against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday by a score of 8-4, their second loss in a row to manager Terry Francona's team.
The Detroit Tigers are one of the better teams in Major League Baseball, but have struggled a bit in their past 10. For a Tigers team that's 46-27, going 5-5 over their last 10 and losing games to teams they shouldn't be losing to is a bit disappointing.
The Tigers’ offense, for the first six innings, was limited to a pair of solo home runs off Reds lefty starter Wade Miley. Jahmai Jones, who came in 6 for 11 in his first seven games, launched a 2-1 cutter over the bullpen in left.
On Monday, the Tigers claimed 28-year-old right-hander Carlos Hernandez off waivers from the Phillies and are on the hook for the remainder of his $1.16 million contract.
