The Detroit Tigers have been kicking tail and taking names this season; at 37-20, they're on pace for their highest winning percentage since 1934. As was the case that year—thank you, Tommy Bridges and Schoolboy Rowe—the Tigers have leaned on one of MLB's best pitching staffs.
On Friday, that pitching staff hit a small bump in the road. Detroit pitcher Jackson Jobe has been placed on the injured list with a right elbow flexor strain, the Tigers announced before their game against the Kansas City Royals.
