The Detroit Tigers lost starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull tonight after just 56 pitches in four innings of work against the Chicago White Sox.
Turnbull departed the game following a 12-pitch duel against Chicago’s Yermin Mercedes. He was then seen talking to Tigers head athletic trainer Doug Teter in the dugout, and was soon ruled out for the remainder of the contest with forearm tightness:
