Ty Madden Makes MLB Debut with Tigers

Ty Madden made his MLB debut for the Detroit Tigers against the Chicago White Sox, allowing two runs (one earned) over five innings with two strikeouts in a no-decision. Promoted from Triple-A Toledo due to injuries in the rotation, Madden's performance was mixed; he showcased resilience despite struggling with control, issuing three walks and throwing only 52 strikes out of 87 pitches. His minor league stats included a 7.97 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 79 innings, which raised concerns prior to his start. Manager A.J. Hinch noted that while Madden's recent performances had shown improvement, his overall metrics were troubling. The Tigers are relying on Madden to provide relief during a demanding schedule of 14 consecutive games. If he continues to perform well, he may earn another start in the upcoming series against Boston.
