“Padres Poised to Pilfer Victory with Pivetta’s Pitching Predicament”

The Tigers are a team that is a bit opposite of the Padres. They didn’t spend a ton of money on free agents, and they haven’t had a plethora or resources to try and fill the clubhouse. They have made a few trades over the past couple of years to try and help their outcome, and they signed Javier Baez as a “big name”, but outside of that there hasn’t been a ton of news. Instead, they seem to have grown their talent or acquired it early in careers as they moved other older players. Looks fairly successful to this point as they made the playoffs last year and have a good start to this campaign. One of the guys they traded for starts tonight, Jack Flaherty. Flaherty is having a great campaign with a 1-1 record, 2.53 ERA, and a 1.08 WHIP. The question was never about his stuff, it really is about consistency and injury with him. Padres hitters have done fairly well against him, batting almost .300 and over half of their hits have gone for extra-bases.
