ARLINGTON, Texas – Veteran lefty Dallas Keuchel, pitching for his third team this season, has certainly had his moments against Detroit teams over the years. But not too many lately. Maybe the Tigers weren’t exactly licking their chops in anticipation of Keuchel’s debut start with the Rangers Saturday — but they weren’t stressing it, either.
Over the last two years, including his debut start with the Diamondbacks back in June, the Tigers had pounded out 19 runs in 25 innings against Keuchel — who once upon a time in Houston won a Cy Young Award pitching for Tigers’ manager AJ Hinch.
It did not go any better for him on this night.
