Zimmermann said after the game that he is “going to go back to the drawing board.” I would think he should have a pretty spiffy board by now.
Thankfully, we get treated to a Fulmer start this afternoon. Let’s hope Mikie and the boys can scratch out a run or two for him.
Chad Bell was apparently still on the team, since he has been sent back to Toledo. Zac Reininger has been called up to the bigs for the first time. Bryan Holaday is a fan of Reininger, and says he has a 98 fastball and three good offspeed pitches. Hopefully we don’t see him today (I hope we get 8 out of Fulmer), but he at least sounds worth taking a look at.
Today’s Lineup:
- Ian Kinsler, 2B
- Mikie Mahtook, RF
- Justin Upton, LF
- Miguel Cabrera, DH
- Nick Castellanos, 3B
- James McCann, C
- John Hicks, 1B
- JaCoby Jones, CF
- Jose Iglesias, SS
Pitching: Michael Fulmer vs Jaime Garcia
