Aaron Boone had this to say about Clarke Schmidt coming on in relief of Gerrit Cole who was struggling!
Huge, huge,”ven with the off-day yesterday, [there are] still a few guys we’re staying away from, so we needed that length from him today. For him to go out and to, obviously, get us out of that jam there in the second inning, and then get us through the middle innings was a big effort for him.
“Excited for him picking up his first win, but it was a huge effort and kind of let us set up the ‘pen in the back half of the game how we hoped. But we needed that effort out of him tonight.”

First pitch is set for 6:40pm from Comerica Park!
Though could mother nature be a problem in game two of the three game series?
It likely won’t be a problem when the game begins though, could become a problem later in the game because there is a 1 % chance of rain between 6:00pm -7:00pm then the chance increases to 49% at 8:00pm, 9:00pm, 10:00pm.
