Quickly decided.
Tigers 7, White Sox 2
Max Scherzer (22 GS 145.2 IP, 3.27 ERA, 3.00 FIP, 3.5 fWAR) faced three batters in the first inning, then Austin Jackson made an out, and then the next eight Tigers reached base and produced six runs. Everyone did something, but Castellanos delivered the big hit with a three run homer, and then basically nothing happened for a very long time. The Tigers coasted through at bats and let Noesi pitch six innings before they woke up against the pen leading to another run. Scherzer walked one and allowed five hits while striking out six and allowing a run over seven innings before the bullpen took over and guided this one to a smooth landing…well, for them. They’ll look to take the series behind Drew Smyly (17 GS, 100.1 IP, 3.77 ERA, 4.17 FIP, 1.1 fWAR) on Thursday.
The Moment: Nick Castellanos puts it out of reach with a 3-run blast in the 1st.

Hey, I was reading your Fangraphs chat — because I’m the kind of guy that reads archived chats from Fangraphs’ deputy communications director — and when I noticed you (a) had an opinion on the TIgers’ window/Drew Smyly and (b) repped Pizza House Ann Arbor I tracked you down here. First, I love the content. Second, my special lady friend works at Pizza House, so I’m going to point this out to you and see if I can’t get you a couple free pizzas. I imagine you’re a former Wolverine (Go Blue), but if you’re still, or ever back, in the area, it might come in handy.
Cheers,

Haha thanks. I live in NC right now but wife and I have family in the area. I’m an alum of EMU, but my folks went to UM so I’m a fan too. Glad you like the site.
EDIT: point this out to *HER (Because pointing it out to you would be beyond futile.)
I am terrible at everything,
