DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – In his return from the injured list, Detroit’s Alex Faedo gave up seven earned runs in 3.2 innings to Toronto in a 12-2 loss. With the game tied at one after three innings, Toronto scored six runs in the fourth inning to take over the game.
“I thought there were a lot of pros and cons. I thought the first three innings went good, but then the fourth inning happened. I have to be able to contain the damage when I get into an inning like that,” said Faedo.
