Valdez’s Velocity Surge Offers Hope | Detroit Tigers News

The surge in velocity translated to 13 whiffs, his highest total since early July, reversing a troubling trend where batters made contact on every swing. Though one mistake pitch led to a two-run homer and ultimately cost the Tigers the game, Valdez kept Detroit in contention for five innings — exactly what the team needs from their big-money ace. With the bullpen faltering and offense struggling, this performance was a promising sign. His next outing against the Guardians will be the true test: is this a breakout or just a flash in the pan?
