A 26-year-old right-hander from Mazatlan, Urquidy became the first Mexican pitcher to make three World Series starts. Urquidy started 15 of 21 batters with strikes in improving his career Series record to 2-0. Urquidy recalled this week feeling nervous at the start of his Series debut, when he pitched five shutout innings of two-hit ball in a Game 4 win at Washington two years ago.

Outfielder Eddie Rosario, 29, was placed on outright waivers this week, The Athletic reported, after the Twins were unable to trade him. Would the Tigers be interested in Rosario at, say, one year and $7.5 million? It would certainly be enticing, especially since the Tigers need a left fielder, the position at which Rosario is most comfortable. Even if Rosario isn’t a game-changer, he would certainly be an upgrade for the Tigers, who have no viable options in left field at the moment.

On Tuesday night, Detroit Tigers reliever Bryan Garcia lost the lead in the bottom of the 10th inning in the blink of an eye: Pinch-runner Jake Cave was placed on second to start the inning.

I think we need to be fair to expectations when we talk about the Detroit Tigers from 2019 to 2020. "You have to manage inning by inning.”“What inning is most important to keep you in a ballgame?
