The Corner: The 2022 MLB Draft for the Detroit Tigers

Detroit Tigers dominated prior to Jose Cisnero return

We are pretty sure the Detroit Tigers would be completely fine if they never had to face Cleveland Guardians pitcher Triston McKenzie ever again.

On Thursday, McKenzie dominated the Tigers (again) as the Guardians walked away with a 4-0 win at Progressive Field.

During the game, McKenzie baffled the Tigers hitters all night long as he recorded 12 strikeouts across eight scoreless innings. With the performance, McKenzie’s career ERA against the Tigers dropped to a microscopic 0.93 ERA over six starts.

McKenzie’s curveball was so filthy that he got Tigers rookie OF Riley Greene to strike out swinging four times in the game.

Following the game, news broke that Jose Cisnero was going to be removed from the 60-day injured list on Friday.
