The Detroit Tigers have started the Major League Baseball season with a 7-4 record after 11 games, despite facing issues. They rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3, bringing their record to 7-4.

The Detroit Tigers are moving closer by committee, with Jason Foley leading the way with three saves. Other players like Shelby Miller, Tyler Holton, Andrew Chafin, and Will Vest have also been strong, allowing only seven earned runs in 33 innings.

The Tigers signed the veteran infielder (pictured above) during spring training for “only” $1.5 million this season.  He was thought to be insurance in case of injuries or ineffective play.  But he is 12-31 at the plate so far (.387 average) in 9 games played.  With Andy Ibanez on the injured list, Urshela will see more playing time, mainly at 3rd base.
