Miller stunk today. Having said that, he allows fewer runners per inning than everyone else in the bullpen not named Holton. The gopher ball has been his undoing. That plate appearance before Melendez was certainly a warning, but it’d have been too late to get someone up and ready. I suppose Hinch deserves some second guessing about not getting someone up once the second base runner got on. And I guess given the two run lead, maybe that should have happened after the first runner got on.
But, yeah, reliever roulette and a poor offense. Take away the extra innings and the Tigers scored 7 runs in a 4 game set vs Kansas City. Add in the Cleveland and Minnesota home games, and it’s 21 runs in 9 games excluding the extra inning points.
