Tigers Stumble as Baez Exits Early in Loss to Marlins
The Detroit Tigers faced a disheartening 8-2 defeat against the Miami Marlins in the first game of their series on Friday. The loss was compounded by the premature exit of two key players, including star infielder Javier Baez.
Baez’s Frightening Exit
Baez’s night ended abruptly in the second inning when a foul ball struck him in the face. The incident was alarming, leaving the seasoned veteran visibly shaken. Following the injury, he was replaced on the field by Trey Sweeney, a move that underscored the team’s growing list of challenges.
A Tough Night for the Tigers
As the game unfolded, the Tigers struggled to find their rhythm against the Marlins’ pitching. The loss not only marked a setback in their campaign but also raised concerns about the physical toll on the roster, especially with Baez’s health now in question.
With injuries piling up, the Tigers must regroup quickly as they look to bounce back in the series against Miami.
