Guardians handing ball to Bibee with season on line
Tanner Bibee will start Game 4 against the Tigers on Thursday. Bibee will get the ball after throwing just 76 pitches in Game 1, and will be working with four days of rest because of the off-day between Game 1 and 2. The right-hander was able to fire 4 2/3 scoreless innings in his Game 1 outing.
Torkelson’s first postseason hit a big one
Spencer Torkelson’s first hit of the postseason was an RBI double that plated Colt Keith in the Tigers’ 3-0 shutout of the Guardians in Wednesday’s Game 4. Six Tigers pitchers combined on the six-hit shutout. The Tigers had just five hits themselves, but two of them came with RISP, whereas the Guardians went 0-for-8 in those situations.
Torkelson is now 1-for-16 with nine strikeouts in the postseason. He walked three times in the two games against the Astros, but he made outs in nine straight plate appearances to begin the series against the Guardians before finally delivering in the sixth today. The Tigers previously scored runs on an RBI single from Riley Greene in the first and on a sac fly from Matt Vierling in the third. The Tigers will take a 2-1 series lead into Game 4 on Thursday. The Guardians are slated to start Tanner Bibee. The Tigers will likely use Reese Olson, though it might be behind an opener.
