  • Colin Rea surrenders four runs to Royals
    Colin Rea surrendered four runs in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday versus the Royals.

    Advice: All of the runs came in the fifth, which started off with an MJ Melendez triple to right that probably ought to have been caught by Sal Frelick. Had that turned into the out, Rea likely gets through five scoreless and gets to open the sixth. To be fair, though, the Royals did hit Rea quite hard over the rest of the fifth. Thanks to a late comeback, Rea avoided what would have been his first loss. He remains 3-0 with a 3.29 ERA. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Trevor Megill picked up third save for Brewers
    Trevor Megill picked up his third save with a perfect ninth against the Royals on Tuesday.

    Advice: Megill got the call over Joel Payamps after the Brewers scored three times in the top of the ninth to take a one-run lead. It was a little surprising that neither had pitched previously in an effort to keep the game close; neither had worked since Payamps got the eighth and Megill earned a save on Friday. Megill is pretty obviously the favorite for saves at this point, and since he threw just eight pitches tonight, he’ll be available again Wednesday. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Seth Lugo turns in quality start in no-decision
    Seth Lugo yielded three runs in 6 2/3 innings Tuesday in a no-decision against the Brewers.

    Advice: Lugo got just five missed swings tonight, but he wound up with five strikeouts anyway. Back-to-back homers from Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz in the second inning accounted for most of the damage. Lugo will get the Angels on the road next time out. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • James McArthur allows three-run homer to blow save
    James McArthur took his second straight blown save after giving up a three-run homer to Willy Adames against the Brewers on Tuesday.

    Advice: This was worse than Sunday, when he gave up one run in the ninth. McArthur still has a nice 18/3 K/BB ratio in 16 1/3 innings and the homer was only the second he’s given up, so he should be safe for now. That said, it’d be bad if he blew another one right away. John Schreiber is surely next in line for save chances in Kansas City right now. It still doesn’t look like John McMillon, who has been terribly wild in Triple-A, will be a factor anytime soon.

  • Earns third win
    Holton (3-0) tossed three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Tuesday against the Guardians. He allowed two hits and struck out three.

    Advice: Detroit starter Kenta Maeda struggled in this one, allowing seven runs across only two innings of work, which forced Holton into the game in the third. The lefty pitched much better, however, and he managed to snag his third win as the Tigers poured on the offense in the 11-7 victory. Holton has been mostly good this season outside of allowing five runs while retiring just one batter back on April 26. He'll continue to serve as a long-relief option out of Detroit's bullpen.

  • Gets bailed out by offense
    Maeda allowed seven runs on five hits across only two innings of work but did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians. He walked three and struck out one.

    Advice: Maeda wasn't very good in this one, but he escaped his second loss of the season thanks to a ton of run support. The veteran righty is now sitting with a subpar 6.75 ERA across his first seven starts with the Tigers, though he had only allowed one run over 11 innings in his previous two appearances coming into Tuesday, so there were some signs he was turning things around before this dud. Home runs have been a problem, as the 36-year-old has now allowed nine of them in 30.2 innings. Maeda will look to keep the ball in the park and post a better line in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for Monday against the Marlins. Rotowire.com Today, 7:29 pm
     
  • Vierling posts multi-hit game in win Tuesday
    Matt Vierling went 2-for-5 with two RBI in the victory over the Guardians on Tuesday.

    Advice: Vierling continues to hit as his .282 average and .155 ISO this year would be career-highs. The Tigers sent Parker Meadows to the minors earlier this week, leaving Vierling and Wenceel Perez as the only viable options in centerfield. Vierling has multiple paths to playing time as even with Perez in the lineup he got the start at third base. He should see everyday at-bats until he cools off, making him an option in deeper formats.

  • Allen shelled against the Tigers
    Logan Allen allowed seven earned runs in 2 1/3 innings, taking a no-decision in Tuesday’s loss to the Tigers

    Advice: Allen was chased by the Tigers in the third inning, marking his shortest outing of the season. His ERA increased to 6.41 after what was easily his worst outing of the year. Allen has just one quality start in eight tries this season. The 25-year-old southpaw will have a plus matchup in his next start as he’s scheduled to face the White Sox on Sunday.

  • Maeda hammered again versus Guardians on Tuesday
    Kenta Maeda blew up again on Tuesday allowing seven earned runs in 2 innings taking the no-decision in the Tigers 11-7 victory over the Guardians.



    Advice: Tigers manager A.J. Hinch had seen enough of Maeda in this one after the second inning. This marks the third time in seven starts that Maeda has allowed at least six runs this season. Maeda’s ERA ballooned to 6.75 on the season after this performance. The 36-year-old right-hander is set to face the Marlins at home next week, but is best left safely on the bench.
