Tyler Chatwood looked extremely rusty in his first start back from the IL and Tigers broke the game open late against the Cubs bullpen to win the game 7-1.
Chatwood lasted just an inning and a third giving up two runs on two hits while walking five and striking out two. He threw only 27 of his 55 pitches for strikes and left with the bases loaded, though no runs ended up scoring.
Jose Quintana made his season debut in the third and was good for his first three innings, but things fell apart for him in the sixth when he gave up a lead off single that was followed by an RBI double and he was pulled after a walk. Overall it was a fine season debut for Quintana, he was good early on and just seemed to run out of gas in the sixth.
After Quintana, Casey Sadler would come in and allow the Tigers to put the game out of reach. After a walk and a ground out he gave up a grand slam to Jonathan Schoop to make the score 7-0.
Kyle Ryan and Dan Winkler would both pitch scoreless innings. For Ryan it was nice to see as he has really struggled this year after being one of the most important pieces of the Cubs bullpen in 2019.
The Cubs got their only offense in the ninth when Willson Contreras ripped a solo home run in the ninth.
The series concludes tomorrow as Jon Lester will look to bounce back from his atrocious outing against the White Sox. Michael Fulmer will take the mound for the Tigers.
