Alex Faedo had a great night with his slider against a poor offense, earning a win as he returned 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 3 Hits, 0 BBs, 10 Ks – 18 Whiffs, 32% CSW, 94 pitches. However, it's not recommended to start him against the #1 offense in baseball and certainly not to stash him for ten days to start him against the Phillies. The article also reviews the performances of other starting pitchers from Thursday's games.
The Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 7-2, improving their record to 13-8 in May. Alex Faedo had a career night with 10 strikeouts, while the heart of the Tigers' order drove in four of their five runs. Despite giving up a home run, Faedo's performance suggests he could be a solid arm for Detroit. The Tigers capitalized on their opportunities and held the White Sox to zero free bases.
The Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 7-2 in the first game of a four-game series, with Alex Faedo striking out 10 batters and allowing only three hits in six innings. The Tigers' offense struggled to capitalize on opportunities, leaving 13 runners on base, but managed to score four runs in the fourth inning to chase White Sox starter Lucas Giolito. Akil Baddoo hit a solo home run to tie the game, and Javier Báez and Spencer Torkelson each drove in two runs in the inning.
Bryce Miller's ability to make in-game adjustments was on display as he transitioned from a fireballing strikeout artist to a soft-contact maven in the Mariners' shutout win against the Tigers. Alex Faedo, a premier first-round talent in 2017, made two mistakes that resulted in home runs, leading to the Tigers' 5-0 loss. Miller's dominant start and the bullpen's strong finish earned the Mariners the win.
The Detroit Tigers have optioned right-hander Spencer Turnbull to Triple-A Toledo and recalled right-hander Alex Faedo, who will start today's game against the Cardinals. Turnbull struggled this season with a 7.26 ERA and inability to pitch deep into games, while Faedo has shown promise in the minors since returning from Tommy John surgery. Turnbull's demotion allows room for Faedo in the Tigers' rotation, which also includes Eduardo Rodriguez, Matthew Boyd, Michael Lorenzen, and Joey Wentz.
