Real Life: 9IP, 1R, 4H, 10K, 2BB, 1WP, 1HR. (15-2)

The Tigers fell to the Angels by a score of 3 to 1. Detroit outhit the Angels, eight to six, but couldn’t push across the important runs. In my replay, McLain has already matched his real life total of losses, so a thirty-game win season now looks impossible. We’ll see how it pans out.
