Ryan pitched two scoreless innings, allowing two hits, in the Detroit's 4-0 loss to Kansas City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan has not given up an earned run through six innings so far on the young season. While the Tigers gave the lefty six starts in 2015, Ryan has mostly been used in mid to late inning situations so far this April. During his tenure in the minors, Ryan was used almost exclusively as a starter, but as long as the 24-year-old continues to find success in relief for the Tigers, his role will likely remain there.
