Valdez's Early Struggles Sink Tigers | Detroit Tigers News
from Detroit Tigers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Framber Valdez’s early-inning woes keep mounting as he surrendered two runs in the first inning of his latest outing, setting off a four-to-one loss to the Rays — part of a troubling trend where he’s given up 20 earned runs in his first innings since joining the Tigers. Manager A.J. Hinch voiced frustration over how a fielding error amplified the pressure, while Valdez admitted he needs to be more aggressive from pitch one. Though he settled down to pitch six innings and limit damage to four runs, the early deficit proved insurmountable, especially with no strikeouts and the offense striking out 12 times. The Tigers’ skid now stretches to six straight losses, nine of ten, pushing them seven games back in the division and further out of playoff contention — all while their offensive slump and Valdez’s inability to start strong make recovery feel increasingly impossible.
