Detroit TigersvsAthletics
DET 11/ATH 0
Things to say
The Detroit Tigers shut out the Athletics 11-0 in Sacramento.
01
opener
Man, that one was over early. Tigers put up eleven and the A's never had a shot. Straight-up laugher.
02
key player
Whoever Detroit ran out on the mound was filthy all day. Kept the A's off the board, got into his stuff, and the bullpen didn't even have to sweat it.
03
hot take
Eleven to nothing? The A's manager left his starter out there way too long. You're down big, save the arms.
04
deep cut
A full shutout on a getaway day, on the road too. That's the kind of clean line you don't see much anymore.
05
exit
Anyway, Tigers are rolling. Let's see if they can carry it into the next one.
The recap
Detroit rolled into Sacramento and hung an 11-spot on the Athletics without giving anything back, an 11-0 laugher that was over early. The Tigers' bats got into it from the jump and never let the A's starter settle, stacking crooked numbers while the pitching staff cruised on the shutout.
Detroit's arm dealt all afternoon, keeping the A's off the bases and cruising to the finish. On a getaway day, that's about as clean as a road win gets.
